The inverted symbol in the UKDHM logo reclaims an emblem once forced on disabled people by the Nazis during the T4 eugenics programme, a regime that murdered hundreds of thousands in the pursuit of a cruel ideology.

Between 250,000–1 million were murdered by the Nazis’ false hopes of building a ‘master race’. The UKDHM Logo has taken this symbol, and in reclaiming our history we have inverted it”.
