The Memorial and Information Point for the Victims of National Socialist Euthanasia Killings serves as a tribute to the victims of the Nazi's involuntary euthanasia program, Aktion T4, under which over 70,000 people were murdered between 1940 and 1941. Although the program officially ended in August 1941, the killings persisted in state-run institutions until Germany's surrender in 1945, resulting in an estimated death toll of around 300,000.
Eichmann's office. The Reich Security Head Office Referat IV B4, commonly known as RSHA IV B4, was a sub-department of Germany's Reich Security Head Office and the Gestapo during the Holocaust. Initially known as Eichmannreferat IV D4 and later as Judenreferat, SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann led it. The department was chiefly responsible for "Jewish affairs and evacuation" in German-occupied Europe, particularly the deportation of Jews from outside Poland to concentration or extermination camps.
Berlin was home to Germany's largest Jewish community before the rise of the Nazi regime. The Jewish population of Berlin in 1933 was approximately 160,000, making up over 32% of all Jews in Germany. However, due to Nazi persecution and the subsequent emigration, this number fell to about 80,000 by 1939. The Jews in Berlin, like those throughout Germany, faced increasing discrimination, persecution, and violence, especially after the Nazis came to power in 1933.
