RIP Karlheinz Stockhausen. Listening to Klavierstuck XIII as a memorial. Poor guy will probably be most remembered for that 9/11 remark.

I just read in his Wikipedia bio that his mother, who'd suffered a psychotic breakdown, was killed by the Nazis as a "useless eater." Anyone know the original German for this appalling term?
