  I know where you are coming from, but as a German calling someone „Unkraut“ has a very dehumanizing sound and was used by nazis to classify people they wanted to murder. Example: deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/…/6SLYFZ3ZSAWYUJX…

  „However, it would have to become the task of the Inner Mission… to clear God’s field of this Unkraut“: women as victims of forced serialisation and “euthanasia” under National Socialism

  What happend next is posted daily by mastodon.world/@auschwitzmuseum So you might want to skip this.
