In the period leading to the Final Solution, Nazi Germany created eight major euthanasia extermination centers to carry out the systematic genocide of the disabled.^[8] Scholars have established a fundamental connection between the motivation, the practical experience and psychological preparation, and the technology used in the Nazi euthanasia centers as part ofAktion T4 andAction 14f13 and the extermination camps used inthe Holocaust.^{[9][10][11][12]} The dates of operation are for the period the facility operated as a euthanasia killing center.
