In France and the Benelux countries, too, memorials and places of remembrance commemorate the National Socialist »euthanasia« crimes. The remembrance of these crimes is closely related to the general commemoration of the victims of the German occupation during World War II, especially of the Holocaust. In France, however, it also embraces the victims of the Vichy regime in the unoccupied parts of the country until the end of 1942. Psychiatric patients from Alsace, which was annexed to the German Reich in 1940, were also among the victims of the patient murders. In addition, between 1941 and 1944, French, Belgian and Dutch concentration camp prisoners who were sick and unfit for work were also murdered in German »euthanasia« killing centres as part of »Aktion 14f13«.
