Germany was Site "A" in 1940 for so-called "Euthanasia" experimentation. In one year, the National Socialist regime murdered 10,654 sick and disabled people at Grafeneck. Today a memorial and an archive exist at Grafeneck to remember the victims and to to keep the issues alive in contemporary time.
At the site entrance, a large, carved, granite stone dedicates the memorial to the "10,654 sick and disabled people who were murdered here in 1940 by the National Socialist Regime."
