A History of Eugenics

- This video covers the history of eugenics, or “racial hygiene,” in Germany and the United States throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The discussion between Dr. Patricia Heberer Rice (US Holocaust Memorial Museum) and Dr. Lutz Kaelber (University of Vermont) explores several sources that display how eugenic practices paved the way for sterilization, and in the case of Nazi Germany, murder, of those deemed “unfit” to reproduce. Ultimately, Dr. Heberer Rice and Dr. Kaelber expose the racism, antisemitism, and ableism that underpinned the eugenic practices that took place before, during, and after World War II.

Thank you for your work. This was not included in my history books throughout my public school education, which is shameful. Many victims of forced sterilization are still alive and most were never even given so much as an apology. The least we can do is acknowledge their pain and suffering.
The Public School System wont teach you about Mao or Stalin Just Hitler and how bad he was. Do you know 6 Million people died in a civil war in the Democratic republic of the Congo just last year? Why do they Demonize Hitler so much, ask your self why?
@@innovativeintelligence4172 tell us please
They don't want to teach you this because they don't want you getting ideas i.e. agreeing with some of the eugenic principles and put them into practice. Also, if the government was to apologize to the persons they sterilized they would most likely have to pay them reparations some time down the road.
@@anntyler6902 Pushing it under the rug does not prevent people from having racist ideas, our society has proven that. And our education system should not white wash history, schools can teach the history of eugenics, the harm it did to society and the science to show it has no ground. And yes, people who were sterilized against their will should as a bare minimum have an apology and symbolic compensation from the government.
@@anntyler6902 so you agree School is a form of brain washing and full of bias and pushing things under the rug to make you think one way, into their mold
Thank you for educating me on more things I did not learn in school. It's really a shame all the things they don't want us to learn about. Thanks!
🏆🏆🏆 top comment 🙏🙏🙏
I learned this in US history
@liam Anderson it should be taught so people can observe how it's still being perpetrated today. After all, "those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it"
@liam Anderson don't you see it's going on now?
This is an important document that should be seen by everyone. I am sorry that I have only come across it now. I will share it and discuss it as widely as I can.
I live in Canada, and have been aware that there were many eugenic laws and policies implemented in this country before the Nazi atrocities became widely known. In typical Canadian fashion, we have swept these practices under the rug, and continue to pretend that they never happened. Shame on us.
Wow. Thank you, so well spoken. Insane history here… people act like this was so long ago and it really was not. Terrifying reality
Great presentation, but surprised there was no discussion regarding the eugenic basis of population control/abortion advocacy.
politics.
I grew up believing if you couldn't afford to have kids then you shouldn't just because I grew up poor. But learning that being poor was used to justify sterilisations makes me sick! There should have definitely been more focus on the systems that are in place to help poor children/families. It would have cost less to invest in the systems that were already in place than to (foster care, food bank etc) create a whole new one.
No, I think it's going too far. Who is going to pay for all that? The taxpayers? Because some parents are irresponsible and make children despite not having means to sustain them?
Besides, irresponsible parents often drink and do drugs when pregnant. These children will be born with fetal alcohol syndrome, or worse! Such parent's shouldn't breed until they grow up to being a parent.
@@wilhelmu funny how in countries without "tax payers" people manage to have kids and those kids grow up healthy and strong on very little.
@@OMG-seriously what are countries without tax payers and where do they get money from?
Look up the guys that invented the birth control pill unbelievable!
Now, many people have children as a means of income. Welfare.
Excelente esta mirada comparativa.Gracias y saludos desde Argentina. Y sigo enriqueciéndome con vuestras presentaciones
Interesting stuff. This is a good brief introduction. My first encounter with the North American angle was while watching the film Judgement at Nuremburg, which had the defense council making reference to that famous quote from Justice Holmes, and generally trying to excuse the behavior of the German judges on trial by comparing to the practices in the United States. There were plenty of eugenicists around before WWII, then it all went quiet.
A cautionary tale for today, as it is in its most basic element another attempt by masterminds to manipulate mankind. Humanity is their material for creation of an improved race, striving toward some earthly paradise. It is always at the expense of human beings.
Eugenics is alive and well in 2021 due to Tinder
Yes, sexual selection is a form of eugenics and it's a GOOD thing
I thought this was a Planned Parenthood documentary...
HA HA HA !!!
HEE HEE HEE !!!
YOU MUST HAVE WATCHED SOME OF THE OTHER VIDEOS, AS I DID.
I ALSO LEARNED ABOUT THE LOVE AND DEVOTION WHICH THE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS BEAR FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
SUCH AS NANCY PELOSI AND HILLARY RODHAM BENGHAZI.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD NO LONGER HANDS OUT THE ANNUAL AWARD.
"TOO CONTROVERSIAL."
I did not hear much about Margaret and her leading role in eugenics and her legacy, but I am sure her scrubbed legacy may have something to do with this.
One of the saddest things is that such respected jurists such as Holmes and leaders such as Theodore Roosevelt accepted these ideas. Even William Howard Taft, both president and Supreme Court Justice, did the same.
It was the ‘science’ of the era.
Smart people
It's still alive and well today. Corporations sit people down under the guise of diversity training and tell white people they're supreme and minorities are oppressed. In Hitler's Germany the corporations sat people down and told Jews they were supremacist and white people they were oppressed. It's the same group of eugenicist behind this madness.
Indiana University attorneys were just arguing in the 7 circuit that Buck v Bell still stands. The case is arguing justification for vaccine mandates.
I know right! Terrible.
Thanks
My husband and I had to have blood work and a physical done to even get our licenses for marriage in the State of NC in 1989. We were told it was so we didn’t transmit disease should one of us be infected. I had no idea this started because they wanted to rid certain kinds of people. This is horrible stuff these evil people did to innocent people. How tragic!!!
Bill Gates, where are you?
🤫🤫🤫
He decended from the family behind the Holocaust.

@@jackisblack443 ;)
@@noone3189 Yes, I'm kinda slow. Who descended from the family behind the holocaust?
The importance of history is to reveal the truth and learn for better future 🙏
Hmm thanks for the history
I didn’t learn about this until college.
how did those words went from scientific to insulting and offensive?
I am severely ashamed of most humans.
Focus on yourself 👍
Eugenicist's aren't human.
Yeah ill assume you're broke
@@Susieq26754 Sexual selection is a form of eugenics. Eugenics are on every level of our experience as human beings. But it's comfortable to pretend otherwise I guess
I remember years ago someone asked me hypothetically if I would terminate a baby if I knew it could have downs syndrome before it was born and I said no. That was back in 2014 I think.
So you want that child to live and suffer and put strain on the whole family?
@@lifespanofafry1534 that’s pretty offensive…
@@k4erie It’s offensive or you are just offended?
Selective abortions are the worse.
So much so that I want the things that let us know everything about a baby to be banned.
If you don't want a baby fine but bigotry shouldn't be involved in that.
@@lifespanofafry1534 How do you know they would suffer? Because you wouldn't want that disorder? Because you don't like that disorder? I doubt they would suffer any differently than anyone else, despite their differing circumstances. All children are burdens on their family, and you're trying to put intrinsic value on human life.
No parent really has a kid wanting them to develop some disorder, but that doesn't mean they don't end up having moments of joy with their kids despite the disorders they do have.
Any person that would abort a down syndrome baby would be free to do anything that could make them happy, and they would be honestly following their own principles by doing so, but how would that reflect on any Down syndrome person who is currently living? I would personally rather live with the burden.
so these woman were forced against their will to have these sterilization surgeries??
Precisely
impossible to watch it , it never come to screen . When it's about non senses I have connection !
Sounds like time for a Reset to me oh we're in one now isn't that a convenient thing to clear some unwanted things 🤔☹️😱😮😠😤
first mandatory sterilisations were in america, as per Edwin Black
Wasn't Dr Eugene Fischer's didn't he write the first book on eugenics? In which he shared with his friend Dr Josef Mangela then it was passed over to Hitler and Hitler love the idea??!!
Shhhh. Careful.

"Hereditary feeble-mindedness" ? Hey leave my family out of this. It is possible to go on & contribute to Society.
Lol
Oh the hypocrisy of the usa
Another example of science in the wrong hands
Something about her reminds me of Leanna Wen...who happened to be a director of planned Parenthood. It's her voice.
GENOCIDE
You understand
Vidojevi c
In mexico a jewish museum "museo historia y tolerancia" is openly supportive of abortion...
Go to Bitchute for in depth analysis on this subject. Or Brand new Tube you can't have a discussion... No hatred just discussion because a lot of people know secrets they wish to hide.
Maybe because it's frowned upon by society there
Most people aren’t aware they are under a spell.
@@xrystalskyes2838 vaccines do that 🐒
Eugenic is biological thing?
Yes women are natural eugenics. They pick the tallest handsome men.
@@emptyblank099a I see, look like they create any concepts which are socially constructed, and they turn them biological?
White is right 😂 everything else is inferior.
Who's here for WVNS assignment?😂

Hello from Bill Gates...
No doubt ably those who approved and executed these laws are in hell or are going to hell as is the fate for all who have not accepted Christ into their hearts
Dont we practice these acts on other species?... not only in animals(dog breeding and livestock domestically) but also in plants(crops).... if its immoral in humans isnt it immoral on other beings. Or are we humans more superior than other earthlings? In truth, i would like to see what a purebreed asian, aerian, afro, american(inca/aztec) sub group or races of humans would look like in theory without violence and infringing in peoples freedoms ofcourse...just like we do cows( Holstein, Jersey, Ayrshire etc).
No humans are obviously higher. Htf are you even comparinig animals to human beings? I am just imagining a bear reasoning with his peers about morality before gutting you lol.
@@aceraphael we really arent any different biologically imo. Humans are just apes with highly evolved brains... Thats all. Just one of the branches/twigs in this evolution tree. We are more similar to any other species here on earth than what differentiate us.
@@keeganantony9745 Again they don't have the sense of rationality or ability to critically think anywhere near humans.(their are some exceptions in human beings). But you know the ability to think is not what gives us rights. Its the personhood, only human life is dignified. We should protect nature, but no the right to equality doesn't to an ant and a mosquito.
@@aceraphael only humanlife is dignified... wow, that is a such an egocentric/anthropocentric statement. All life is special and equal at the same time. Since it is so rare in the universe... even a small microbe here on earth is unique in the big picture since part of life... we just need to end the hypocrisy by either stop selective breeding on other species or accept that eugenics in humans is fine.
@@keeganantony9745 Again only human life is dignified. Its not hypocrytic to believe that we are higher than all the other forms of nature. We have the power destroy earth as a whole lol
British were the 1st
"While eugenic principles have been practiced as early as ancient Greece, the contemporary history of eugenics began in the late 19th century, when a popular eugenics movement emerged in the United Kingdom, and then spread to many countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and most European countries."
@@someguy5063 thanks for the information...
No, BS. Eugenics have been a constant throughout human existence. Whether it's sexual selection (one of several examples of good eugenics), ethnic cleansing, killing of feeble children, etc, it's an immutable aspect of human experience. But yes, be an idiot and blame the British
God is in control. He is love and loves, merciful, just and righteous.
