After the murder of people by gas was stopped in 1941, operations at the Hadamar killing center resumed in August 1942. Many patients were now housed in the institution again. From the outside, everything looked like a normal institution. But everyday life was characterized by targeted killings. However, the murders were no longer centrally controlled. Doctors and nurses now killed without orders from Berlin - in Hadamar and in many other institutions in the German Reich. This is why this phase of murder is also called "decentralized euthanasia." But how did these murders take place in the Hadamar State Mental Hospital? Which patients were murdered? And who exactly made the decisions about life and death? This will be explained in the following video. This video is part of a video series that deals with the history of the National Socialist "euthanasia" crimes in Hadamar.
