"Mr President, I would appreciate it if your bench would occasionally look in this direction. I had a very important oral amendment to the resolution on Auschwitz. Therefore, I wish to put on record now what I was trying to propose.
On the 60th anniversary of Auschwitz, it is very important that we remember and honour the Jewish victims and the other national victims, like the Poles, Russians etc., who died in Auschwitz. However, one group has been completely forgotten – the group that Hitler first attacked and continued to attack to the very end, in every concentration camp and in universities and hospitals throughout the Reich: the disabled. In fact – not in Auschwitz but in other concentration camps – the ovens were made originally to eliminate disabled people. Disabled people of all nationalities were exterminated for the simple reason that they were disabled. Of all the groups, none are currently in threat of their lives simply because they belong to that grouping – except the disabled. The disabled remain forgotten. In most countries with abortion, and in those countries with euthanasia, people can now be exterminated simply because they are disabled.
I would like to place on record that on this day we reverently honour the Jewish victims of Auschwitz and the other victims, but it should be put in very bold letters that the disabled were there from beginning to end and were killed for no other reason than that they were not perfect, which is what Hitler’s Reich was looking for."@en1
