They were fed a piece of bread and got some coffee without any sugar or milk. They were treated terribly, like they were not even human. Some of them didn't even like the food so many died of starvation only after a few days at the concentration camps.

The disabled were immediately exterminated due to their lack of physical perfection and uselessness. They were all killed through a systematic euthanasia program code-named T4 (in relation to address where it took place) by lethal injection. If they were killed in a hospital, all ashes were put in a communal pile and were placed in urns with fictional death certificates citing an illness or accident as cause of death and sent to families with no regard whether or not they were receiving the correct ashes. Literally no disabled persons survived the Holocaust.

Answer

Most of the disabled victims were killed in large designated hospitals.

Usually the children, handicapped, sick, and elderly were immediately gassed in the chambers since they were of no use to the Reich. However, in the case of twins, Joseph Mengele would have them set aside for some of his diabolical medical experiments. To learn more about this sadist, look up Joseph Mengele on the internet. Be aware that there are some rather gruesome pictures.That is what happen to the children and other many victims of the Holocaust. ~c2c2~ email if any questions www.shyasiawhite@Yahoo.com

The handicapped were targeted by Hitler during the Holocaust because they did not fit into Hitler's view of a "perfect (Aryan) race/Germany" due to them having limitations as a result of their disabilities, and he thus wanted to remove them from his country.
