description: "Lothar Kreyssig was a German judge during the Weimar and Nazi era. He was the only German judge who attempted to stop the mass-murder of persons deemed \"unworthy of living\" under the Aktion T4 \"involuntary euthanasia\" program, an intervention that cost him his job. After the Second World War, he was again offered a judgeship but declined. Later, he became an advocate of German reconciliation and founded the Action Reconciliation Service for Peace and the German development aid non-government organization, Action for World Solidarity."
