Description
From 1940 to 1944, Hartheim Castle housed a Nazi euthanasia facility in which around 30,000 people with disabilities or mental illnesses, concentration camp prisoners who were unable to work, and forced laborers were murdered. In 2003, the learning and memorial site was opened with the memorial and the exhibition "Value of Life".
