18 To call these individuals ‘tour guides’ is a misnomer in part as they are fully funded historians and researchers working in the Euthanasia Memorial Centres, and thus they lead tours in the pragmatic sense, but the remainder of their time is spent working on T4 research and exhibition. Because we are historians ourselves, we specifically arrange during tours to meet with professional historians as our guides at each site.
