Notes
- The German national memorial to the people with disabilities systematically murdered by the Nazis was dedicated in 2014 in Berlin.[44][45] It is located in Berlin in a site next to the Tiergarten park, which is the former location of a villa at Tiergartenstrasse 4 where more than 60 Nazi bureaucrats and doctors worked in secret under the "T4" program to organize the mass murder of sanatorium and psychiatric hospital patients deemed unworthy to live.[45]
