Among the approximately 70,000 people who were murdered in 1940 and 1941 as part of “Aktion T4”, there were also some who had a biographical connection to Great Britain. An international research team led by Dr. Helen Atherton from the University of Leeds has been reconstructing the lives of these people in recent years. The results will now be made available to the public as part of a traveling exhibition.

Using a range of archive material collected in the UK, Austria, Germany and beyond, as well as reports and records from family members, the team compiled 13 lives to be displayed on roll-up banners.
