In November 1939, the largest genocide in the history of Gniezno and the surrounding area began. Cars with patients started leaving the "Dziekanka" psychiatric hospital as part of the German operation "T4". The aim of the action was to eliminate people described as "incapable of social coexistence and leading a life unworthy of life", i.e. physically and mentally disabled. They were killed using mobile gas chambers. The result was the murder of several to several thousand patients of "Dziekanka". The extermination of the mentally ill and terminally ill, codenamed "T4", was the prelude to a crime without precedent in the history of humanity, which we today refer to as the Holocaust.
