Nazi targeting of Blacks influenced by American Eugenicists

This information was taken from the Life Dynamics documentary: Maafa21 Black Genocide in

21st Century America.

An often overlooked fact about the German holocaust is that the Nazis did not simply target the

Jewish population; they went after the black community as well. Under the threat of being sent to

concentration camps if they did not cooperate, Afro-German citizens were not only forced to

undergo sterilization themselves, they were also required to turn over their children for

sterilization. In his book, Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler explained the motivation behind such

programs.

"During Hitlers Regime, the Germans were supplied with elaborate charts and complicated theses, supposedly proving the superiority of the German people. It is interesting to note that, at

the bottom of these charts were the colored people of the world, most conspicuously, the Black

people. ~ Floyd McKissick , National Director, Congress of Racial Equality, 1967.

Listen to Adolf Hitler describe the "Negro" in Mein Kampf

The Jews were responsible for bringing Negroes into the Rhineland ... it suits the purpose of the cool calculating Jew who would use this means of introducing a process of bastardization in

the very centre of the European Continent and, by infecting the white race with the blood of an

inferior stock, would destroy the foundations of its independent existence. ~ Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf.

The Nazi attitude toward blacks was clearly defined in a 1944 book by Robert Ley who was

head of the German Labor Front. Ley characterized the Jewish race as a disease-riddled parasite

that had been created by unnatural inbreeding between white men and the racially inferior Negro.

He described the result as a racial swamp that would eventually destroy the natural superiority of

the Aryan race. Another Nazi publication described blacks as African brutes who had not been tamed even by centuries of slavery. It went on to say that any effort to assimilate people of

African descent into a civilized society was a waste of time and that the lynchings of blacks in

America did not merit any regret.

AMERICAN EUGENICISTS AND HITLER

Since World War II, it has been well-documented that Adolf Hitler was profoundly influenced

by the American eugenics movement and that many of his governments racial policies were

actually developed from the writings of American eugenicists like Madison Grant and Harry

Laughlin.

In fact, Hitler referred to Grants book, The Passing of The Great Race, as his bible.

Meanwhile, American eugenicists were praising Hitler and holding up the Nazi eugenics

program as a model for the United States to copy.

Dr. Clarence Gordon Campbell, 1935, President, Eugenics Research Association, New York said

this, The leader of the German Nation, Adolf Hitler, has been able to construct a comprehensive racial policy of population development and improvement The difference between the Jew and the Aryan is as unsurmountable as that between black and white Germany has set a pattern which other nations must follow.

MARGARET SANGER'S BOARD AND HITLER

Lothrop Stoddard

Among those American eugenicists who most strongly supported the Nazis was a member of the American Eugenics Society, a director of the American Birth Control League and a writer for

the Birth Control Review. His name was Lothrop Stoddard.

An avowed racist, Stoddard was the author of a book called, The Rising Tide of Color Against

White World-Supremacy which was widely promoted by the Ku Klux Klan. In another book, The

Dragon and the Cross, Stoddard was identified as the Exalted Cyclops of the Massachusetts

chapter of the Klan.

Non-white races must be excluded from America The red and black races if left to themselves revert to a savage or semi-savage stage in a short time. ~ Lothrop Stoddard, Director, American Birth Control League.

On the 19th of December, 1939, during a four-month stay in Germany, Stoddard was given a

personal meeting with both Adolf Hitler and the man who would eventually be in charge of the

Nazi holocaust, SS leader Heinrich Himmler. Later, when a course on race was introduced at

Halle University in Germany, its instructor stated that it would be modeled on the philosophies

of American eugenicists including Lothrop Stoddard.

Eventually, Stoddards racial views would even be featured in Nazi school textbooks.

..the white race divides into three main sub-species- the Nordics, the Alpines, and the Mediterraneans. All three are good stocks, ranking in genetic worth well above the various

colored races. ~ Lothrop Stoddard, Director, American Birth Control League.

NAZI'S AND BLACK STERILIZATION

Eugen Fischer

To eliminate blacks from Germany, one of the people Hitler called on was a eugenicist who had

once written that blacks are an inferior race of savages who should only be allowed to survive as

long as they are of use to the Aryan race. His name was Eugen Fischer and, about 20 years

earlier, he had been one of the leaders of a system of concentration camps in southwestern Africa

where blacks were rounded up to be executed, experimented upon or held as free labor.

Under Hitler, Fischer would serve on committees that planned the sterilization of all blacks in

countries that came under German control. He would also be one of the first Nazi scientists to

become publicly affiliated with the Carnegie-funded eugenics laboratory in Cold Spring Harbor,

New York. Eventually, Fischer would also be put in charge of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute

which was funded by the Rockefeller Foundation. It was here that many of the Nazi programs for

creating racial purity were developed.

In 1927, Margaret Sanger organized the World Population Conference in Geneva Switzerland

and gave it front page coverage in her Birth Control Review. The events program shows that

several of its attendees were colleagues of Sangers from the American Eugenics Movement. It also documents that among those who were given a leadership role in the conference was Eugen

Fischer, the man who eventually lead the Nazi effort to eradicate blacks from Europe.

Harry Laughlin

Another American eugenicist with Nazi connections was Harry Laughlin. He was an official

with both the American Eugenics Society and the American Birth Control League and, in 1928,

his plan for using forced sterilization to eliminate those who might produce what he called

degenerate offspring was published in the Birth Control Review.

In 1936, Laughlin led an effort to distribute the English-language version of a Nazi eugenics film

to audiences in the northeastern part of the United States. He had acquired the rights to the film

from the Race Policy Office of the Nazi Party and, with the help of two other American eugenics

organizations, had mailed literature to biology teachers at 3,000 U.S. high schools urging them to

show it in their classrooms. Later that year, Laughlin was praised in a Nazi newspaper and

awarded an honorary degree from the University of Heidelberg for his contributions to the Nazi

eugenics effort.

The Nazis and the American eugenics movement were also connected by a German psychiatrist

named Ernst Rudin. He was the president of the International Federation of Eugenics in Cold

Spring Harbor, New York, which was funded by the Carnegie Corporation and, in 1933, his call

for racial purity was published in the Birth Control Review.

Later, Rudin would be chosen by Hitler to write Germanys eugenics laws and, at one point, he personally helped the Gestapo round-up and sterilize between 500 and 600 blacks who they

referred to as Rhineland bastards. After the war, Rudin would be identified as one of the architects of the barbaric medical experiments that the Nazis carried out in their concentration

camps.

It is possible that Hitler got the idea for concentration camps while studying the American

eugenics movement. In 1919, the state of Indiana had allocated $300,000 to create a work colony

in the city of Butlerville where those who were labeled feeble minded would be incarcerated.

Then in 1932, Margaret Sanger called for the U.S. government to set aside farms and what she

called open spaces where certain groups of people would be segregated from the rest of society. She proposed that, among others, the illiterate, the unemployed and the poor should be

forcibly kept in these areas until they developed better moral conduct.

Interestingly, in 1935, in one incident alone, the Nazis sterilized the children of over 600 German

women because their children had been fathered by black men. When this event was reported in

the United States, a member of the American Eugenics Society named Walter Ashby Plecker

wrote a letter to the German Bureau of Human Betterment and Eugenics praising them for the

action and expressing his hope that not one child had been missed.

Ten years earlier, Plecker had written that African-Americans were the greatest problem and most destructive force which confronts the white race and American civilization.

NAZI STERILIZATION MODELED AFTER AMERICAN

EUGENICS STERILIZATION

Given the admiration Adolf Hitler had for the American eugenics movement, it is not unlikely

that the Eugenics Courts in Nazi Germany were modeled after the state eugenics boards in the

U.S. In both countries, feeblemindedness was routinely used as a catch-all justification for

sterilization and the diagnosis of feeblemindedness was almost always made by the person

advocating the sterilization.

During the four months that American Birth Control League director, Lothrop Stoddard, was in

Nazi Germany, he not only met with Hitler and SS chief Himmler, he also attended one of the

Nazi Eugenics Courts.

The first case I saw looked like an excellent candidate for sterilization. A man in his mid-thirties, he was rather ape-like in appearancereceding forehead, flat nose with flaring nostrils, thick lips, and heavy prognathous jaw. Not vicious-looking, but gross and rather dull. ~ Lothrop Stoddard, Director, American Birth Control League, later known as Planned

Parenthood.

HITLER WAS FOR ABORTION

The idea that population control could be used to control a specific population was not unique.

For example, before the Nazis took power in Germany, abortion had been illegal except to save

the life of the mother. But under Hitler, the Hamburg Eugenics Court ruled that it would still be

illegal for Aryan women, but legal for women of what they called inferior racial stock. According to the Court, encouraging eugenic abortions would promote racial hygiene and protect the health of the German people. This new policy eventually led to certain women being

threatened with execution if they refused to abort what the Nazis called racially worthless babies.

NAZI CONNECTION TO ABORTION PILL RU486

At the end of World War II, the German chemical manufacturer, I.G. Farben, was identified as

the company that supplied the gas used in the Nazi concentration camps. The gas was called

Zyklon-B and evidence later showed that Farbens executives knew how it was being used. In fact, evidence was uncovered to indicate that Farben engineers had actually designed the gas

chambers. This led to some of them being tried at Nuremburg for crimes against humanity

including genocide and slavery.

Interestingly, I.G. Farben was a financial partner with John D. Rockefeller and Standard Oil of

New Jersey in a company called Standard I.G. Farben. In addition, within three months after

Hitler came to power, the publicity director of the Rockefeller Foundation and personal advisor to John D. Rockefeller a man named Ivy Ledbetter Lee was assigned the responsibility of directing public relations for I. G. Farben.

After the war, I.G. Farben would change its name and become known as Hoechst AG. Today,

Hoechst is a gigantic multi-national corporation with subsidiaries all over the world including the

United States. Ironically, one of Hoechsts subsidiaries, Roussel Uclaf, is the French company that developed RU486.

In other words, the same company that produced the gas used in the Nazi death camps also

produced the abortion pill that is now being used in American abortion clinics. And in both

cases, there was a known connection to the Rockefeller Foundation.
