From a Race of Masters to a Master Race: 1948 to 1848 (The Eugenics Anthology)

From a Race of Masters to a Master Race 1948 to 1848(Deluxe Format) Vol. 1 - The Eugenics Anthology Nazism remains an enigma. Historians do not know whether to slot Nazism as a phenomenon of the political right or left largely because of a misunderstanding of how central eugenics was to the regime. Eugenics or racial hygiene was at the core of National Socialisms domestic policy foreign policy culture wars and even Hitlers obsession with cars highways and city planning. Thus no coherent understanding of the regime is possible without first grasping the nature of eugenics. Eugenics did not originate with Nazi Germany. It was the culmination of a worldwide movement that was widely accepted by the global scientific and academic community. This book traces the origins of the Nazi eugenics state working backward down the timeline tracing from leaf down to the root. We investigate this 100-year trajectory from its beginnings in British and American Academia delving into the conveniently forgotten inner-workings of a scientific era uncovering previously unpublished manuscripts professional correspondence and conveniently forgotten publications. With the centenary of The Holocaust looming uprooting the web of professional connections that engendered this movement is in order. The seeds of Holocaust denial take root and prosper with misinformation. Clarity and transparency are imperative as they leave no room for denial theories that would deprive the victims of justice or rob the living of a future.THIS BOOK SERIES IS BASED ON ONGOING ORIGINAL RESEARCH FROM THE FOLLOWING ARCHIVES: Truman State University MO - Pickler Memorial Library - Special Collections - Harry Hamilton Laughlin.
