A second cousin of Adolf Hitler was one of the victims of the Nazi euthanasia program, new research revealed on Monday has shown. Aloisia V, who had spent many years in a secure psychiatric center, was murdered in the gas chambers of the Hartheim Institute near Linz in Austria in December 1940. She was 49 at the time, only two years younger than Hitler. The fate of Hitler's second cousin has come to light after study of previously unknown Nazi documents by the Institute for Forensic Medicine in Munich and the Ober-salzberg Institute for contemporary history at Berchtesgaden.
