Beschrijving
Schloss Hartheim was opened in 1898 as an institution for the mentally disabled. Around 200 disabled people lived there. The murders there began in 1940 and 18,000 had already been murdered there when Aktion T4 was stopped. However inmates from Mauthausen, Gusen, Dachau, and Ravensbruck were murdered there from 1941 to 1944. The Centre is now dedicated to the tasks of remembrance, documentation and learning
