Description
From 1940 to 1944, Hartheim Castle was home to a Nazi euthanasia facility in which around 30,000 physically and mentally handicapped or mentally ill people, concentration camp prisoners unable to work, and forced laborers were murdered. In 1995, the Hartheim Castle Association was founded, and in 2003 the Hartheim Castle Learning and Memorial Site was opened with the memorial and exhibition "Value of Life".
