How Nazis used MS to promote murder

Hi, Here is another article I have written about MS and the Nazis on the Barts MS Research blog: https://multiple-sclerosis-research.org/2019/12/ich-klage-an/ This piece focuses on the Nazi propaganda film - "Ich Klage An" or "I Accuse" - which tells the story of a woman who has MS. The film was made by the Nazis to convince the German people to accept their programme of mass killing of the disabled. The Allies banned the film after the war - and it still cannot be publicly screened in places like the UK due to its incendiary content. Warning – the content is very disturbing Rachel

30 years ago I lived in Germany for 5 years, when I invited my friend over who was wheelchair bound through muscular dystrophy. It soon became apparent that he should be kept out of sight, people would cross the road or just totally avoid us. All the time, I was there I can honestly say I never came across another wheelchair user or any people with a visible disability. I so much hope that things have changed for the better today.... And eugenics is still being practiced to this day in certain parts of this civilised world we live in. Scratch the surface a little deeper and you'll find the idiollogíe of it, is still being practiced to this very day.

I never knew how much people with either a visible or a invisible disability were treated until I became seriously ill myself, and to be honest I was one of those people who didn't give a shit, and i'm SORRY.
