The "euthanasia" program represented in many ways a rehearsal for Nazi Germany's subsequent genocidal policies.

The term "euthanasia" means literally "good death". It usually refers to the inducement of a painless death for a chronically or terminally ill individual who would otherwise suffer.

—In the Nazi context, however, "euthanasia" was a euphemistic or indirect term for a clandestine murder program.

—The "euthanasia" program targeted, for systematic killing, mentally and physically disabled patients living in institutional settings in Germany and German-annexed territories.
