Florian Schwanninger (Historian, Director Hartheim Centre, Austria) will develop a presentation on "Aktion T4" or the Nazi euthanasia and its aftermath in Austria after 1945. David O’Driscoll will be chairing this session.

Please Note. This is a very changing and upsetting subject, with upsetting material but we believe its is important to understand the forces behind this moment.
