Diagnoses That Matter: My Great-Grandmother\u27s Murder as One Deemed \u27Unworthy of Living\u27 and Its Impact on Our Family

This is an English translation of an article originally published in German on the T4 euthanasia program targeting disabled people during the Third Reich. The essay examines the contours of ableism in Germany that have allowed these killings to remain unreported and uncommemorated. The author focuses on the murder of his great-grandmother and its effects on four generations of his family. This essay provides a vital historical record as well as a model for reflecting upon and understanding the legacy of the Holocaust and the persistence of ableism
