Weber, Mathilde (1909–1996)

Mathilde Weber studied medicine and became the deputy director of the ‘Kalmenhof’. As part of ‘Aktion T4’, about 600 patients were sent from the Kalmenhof to be gassed in Hadamar. After the war, Weber was sentenced to death for her participation in these murders. Her case was subsequently re-trialled, and she was then sentenced to three and a half years imprisonment. She was released early and even allowed to continue practicing medicine.
