On Friday, 27 January 2017, to mark the 72nd anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp by Soviet troops, the Bundestag remembers the victims of National Socialism with a special ceremony. This year, the victims of euthanasia in National Socialist Germany are remembered in particular. Following an opening address by Bundestag President Professor Norbert Lammert, commemorative speeches will be given by Sigrid Falkenstein and Dr Hartmut Traub. Both are relatives of „euthanasia“ victims.
