When the busses left, the nurse said to the children, 'Today you have to pray a lot, because today you go up the chimney and
meet the good Lord.'
The children of the area knew these vehicles and said, 'Look, there is another one of these killer busses.' And they said
to one another, ' You are not very clever, you, too, are going to end up in the oven in Hartheim, you, too, will be hung up
in the chimney.'
Hartheim Castle near Linz was one of several places of destruction of 'unworthy life' within the framework of the euthanasia
program of National Socialism. Over 30,000 mentally or physically handicapped, psychiatric patients and inmates of concentration
camps were gassed in Hartheim between 1940 and 1945.
Today Hartheim Castle is rented and inhabited. In a place where 40 years ago thousands if lives were destroyed by industrial
methods, today life asserts itself in the trite daily function of living.
The documentation is about Hartheim Castle, in the past and in the present.
