Nazi targeting of Blacks influenced by American Eugenicists

Posted by Life Dynamics on Apr 28, 2014 2:56:39 PM 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 midthirties, 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. Help Life Dynamics educate the public on these important issues: http://www.lifedynamics.com
