Massacre of patients at the Kobierzyn psychiatric hospital
The massacre of patients at the State Institute for the Mentally and Nervously Ill in Kobierzyn was the systematic murder, carried out during World War II by officials of Nazi Germany, of more than one thousand patients of the psychiatric hospital in Kobierzyn, (present-day Dr. Józef Babiński Clinical Hospital in Kraków). The chain of crimes consisted of three stages: the starvation of patients, the deportation of patients of Jewish nationality in September 1941, and the mass murder through the deceptive transport of patients to the Auschwitz concentration camp on 23 June 1942. Including the victims of starvation, approximately 900–1,000 people were killed in total. The main perpetrator, the German-appointed hospital director Alex Kroll, evaded punishment.
