"Lothar Kreyssig, a judge from Brandenburg/Havel also informed Gurtner on what was going on. He did so in a letter dated 8 July 1940:
About two weeks ago an acquaintance told me about rumours of numerous mental patients having recently been transfered by the SS from their clinics and nursing homes to intitutions in southern Germany where they were killed. . . . The issue of the meaning of these lives actually touches on the very issues of existence. It leads directly to the question of God. . . .Destroying worthless life is a serious matter of conscience. Life is a mystery of God. . . . It is mans incredible rebellion and arrogance to think he can terminate life because his limited judgment tells him that such life does not or does no longer have any meaning.22
Dr. Kreyssig was a member of the Confessing Church, a vocal anti-Nazi movement within the mainstream German Evangelical Church (DEK).
They should inscribe this on a monument to Terri Schiavo, preferably one erected on the site of that "hospice" where she is being murdered.
