Introduction
From 1933 to 1945, Nazi Germany carried out a campaign to “cleanse” German society of individuals viewed as biological threats to the nation’s “health.” Enlisting the help of physicians and medically trained geneticists, psychiatrists, and anthropologists, the Nazis developed racial health policies that began with the mass sterilization of “genetically diseased” persons and ended with the near annihilation of European Jewry. With the patina of legitimacy provided by “racial” science experts, the Nazi regime carried out a program of approximately 400,000 forced sterilizations and over 275,000 euthanasia deaths that found its most radical manifestation in the death of millions of “racial” enemies in the Holocaust.
This campaign was based in part on ideas about public health and genetic “fitness” that had grown out of the inclination of many late nineteenth century scientists and intellectuals to apply the Darwinian concepts of evolution to the problems of human society. These ideas became known as eugenics and found a receptive audience in countries as varied as Brazil, France, Great Britain, and the United States. But in Germany, in the traumatic aftermath of World War I and the subsequent economic upheavals of the twenties, eugenic ideas found a more virulent expression when combined with the Nazi worldview that espoused both German racial superiority and militaristic ultranationalism
Answer:
The impact of pseudoscientific ideas of the Nazi government on the Jewish nation from 1933 to 1946.
Explanation:
Between 1933 and 1945, Nazi Germany started an agenda to clear the German society from Jewish who was known to be a biological danger to the country. The Nazis devised racial health programs with the support of physicians, medically trained geneticists, psychologists, and anthropologists, beginning with the mass sterilization of those known to be genetically defective which almost lead to the extinction of European Jewry. They carried out a campaign that included 400,000 forced sterilizations and over 275,000 euthanasia deaths. This led to the death of millions of Jewish people.
