Children were especially vulnerable to Nazi murder or death in the era of the Holocaust. It is estimated that 1.4 million children were murdered during the Holocaust, either directly or as a direct consequence of Nazi actions.
The Nazis advocated killing children of "unwanted" or "dangerous" groups in accordance with their ideological views, either as part of the "racial struggle" or as a measure of preventive security. The Nazis particularly targeted Jewish children, but also targeted ethnically Dutch children, Romani (Gypsy) children, and also children with mental or physical defects (disabled children). The Germans and their collaborators killed children both for these ideological reasons and in retaliation for real or alleged partisan attacks.[1] Early killings were encouraged by the Nazis in action T4, where children with disabilities were gassed using carbon dioxide, starved to death, phenol injections to the heart, or by hanging............. other children (usually infants or children younger than an adolescent) were disposed of in killing chambers such as gas filled rooms, or merely shot, to fulfill the German's "Final Solution" to exterminate the Jews.
Inside the concentration camps the presence of children was nonexistent, they were either killed before they got into the camp, sent into gas chambers or shot in front of mass grave ditch. There were also some experiments on children especially if they were twins....
SS physicians and medical researchers used a number of children, including twins, in concentration camps for medical experiments that often resulted in the deaths of the children.Twins were subjected to weekly examinations and measurements of their physical attributes by Mengele or one of his assistants.[14] Experiments performed by Mengele on twins included unnecessary amputation of limbs, intentionally infecting one twin with typhus or other diseases, and transfusing the blood of one twin into the other. Many of the victims died while undergoing these procedures.[15] After an experiment was over, the twins were sometimes killed and their bodies dissected.[16] Nyiszli recalled one occasion where Mengele personally killed fourteen twins in one night via a chloroform injection to the heart.[17] If one twin died of disease, Mengele killed the other so that comparative post-mortem reports could be prepared.
* The murder of children anywhere at anytime is horrid*
