In the name of public health- Nazi racial hygiene

Article Abstract:

Physicians and medically trained academics, many of whom were proponents of 'racial hygiene', or eugenics, legitimized and helped to implement Nazi policies aiming to 'cleanse' German society of people viewed as biologic threats to the nation's health. Eugenics proposals, such as the sterilization of mentally retarded and ill persons, failed to win wide support, before 1933, but the Nazi 'revolution', beginning that year with Adolf Hitler's assumption of power, upset the status quo.
