According to two historians, being a member of Hitler’s own family was no guarantee that you wouldn’t be killed by the Nazis.
A member of Adolf Hitler’s own family was one of those killed in the Nazi campaign to wipe out the mentally ill, according to two historians.
The woman, named as “Aloisia V”, was the great grandchild of Hitler’s great aunt – his second cousin, once removed.*She was gassed to death on 6 December 1940, at a mental institution in Austria, historian Timothy Ryback said.Medical files show she suffered from schizophrenia, depression, delusions and other mental problems, he said.
