28 July 1941 | A special commission arrived at #Auschwitz to select prisoners within the framework of the "#Euthanasia Program" for the incurably ill, extended in 1940 to Jews and in the middle of 1941 to prisoners of concentration camps. 1/3
The committee inspected all invalids, cripples and incurably ill who had been chosen by the camp administration under the pretext of transferring them to another camp for easier work. 573 prisoners, most of them Poles, were chosen. 2/3
Two more German criminal prisoners were added to the group. 575 prisoners were sent to #Sonnenstein. The prisoners were gassed in a room where carbon monoxide was introduced through the showerheads. 3/3
