Brandenburg euthanasia centre

Brandenburg 'euthanasia' centre (now possibly more) - darkometer rating : 6 - The site of one of the six euthanasia centres of the " Action T4 " in Nazi Germany . In fact the centre at Brandenburg was the place where the first gas chamber "tests" took place in January 1940, before the method was applied on a truly industrialized scale first at Grafeneck , then at the other designated euthanasia centres (and later also the concentration camps and, ultimately, the death camps of the Holocaust ). Unlike the other five places, Brandenburg lacked a proper memorial centre for over 70 years. There were merely a few text plaques in the heart of the city of Brandenburg/Havel, at Neuendorfer Straße. Later a monument representing the grey buses that were used for the transport of the victims was added to the site too.
