Abstract
The role of the relatives in the context of the "euthanasia" "Aktion T4" ("T4" campaign) has been controversially discussed in recent years. Based on documents of the National Socialist bureaucracy, statements of asylum psychiatrists in the year 1945 to the French occupation force as well as letters from relatives to Weissenau asylum in Wuerttemberg, these sources are analysed here in the light of the reactions of family members in respect to "Aktion T4". The results testify to a broad spectrum of responses of relatives, which are mainly characterised by fear, helplessness and protest.
