Grafeneck is a small rural village in Germany, near the town of Münsingen, south-west of Stuttgart. The castle of Grafeneck, which had previously been an asylum for crippled people, was turned by the Nazis into an extermination facility .

During 1940 and 1941, mentally ill people were gassed in Grafeneck with carbon monoxide in the first gas chamber. This was the beginning of the T-4 Euthanasia Program.
