“Eugenics is the self direction of human evolution. Like a tree, eugenics draws its,materials from many sources and organizes them into a harmonious entity.”

FACT OR MYTH? THE MURDEROUS KILLINGS OF THE HOLOCAUST WAS PURELY A RESULT OF ADOLF HITLER.

MYTH! The theory of “racial purity” first came about with a man named Joseph Arthur Comte de Gobineau and a man named Sir Francis Galton.

“Gobineau believed that there was a ‘racial barrier’ between the three races- ‘blacks’, ‘whites’, and ‘yellows’- and a break in this barrier would lead to chaos.” - Walter Laqueuer in his book,The Holocaust Encyclopedia.

Created the word “Eugenics” by combining the Greek words eus (good or well) and genēs (born).

Galton defined eugenics like this: "Eugenics is the study of agencies under social control that may improve or impair the racial qualities of future generations, whether physically or mentally." Galton figured that if we breed talented men with talented women, that as time goes on, we would have a highly bred human race.

According to Hitler, in order to have a “completed master race”, the world must be rid of ALL degenerate races including Jews, mentally handicapped, gypsies, and other minorities.

As Hitler grew in power, people began believing that that what he preached was the right thing to do. The group of followers were known as Nazis.

Though Jews were a major race to be killed in the Holocaust, they weren’t the only race to be killed. The Nazis killed Gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally and physically disabled, Communists, Poles, blacks, and Jehovah Witnesses.

 The first group to be killed in the Holocaust were mentally disabled children.  Doctors and officials began “advising” that the parents of disabled children turn them into their doctors for “treatment”.

H ITLER QUICKLY EXPANDED THE EUTHANASIA FROM CHILDREN TO ADULTS THAT WERE MENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED. The “doctors” euthanized the victims by injecting them, gradually starving them to death, or in death chambers disguised as showers.

After the Euthanasia…  After the victims were euthanized, the “doctors” sent their bodies to the crematorium.  After they had been cremated, they sent a urn containing their ashes to their families.

BECAUSE OF THE EVENTS TAKEN PLACE DURING THE HOLOCAUST, FAMILIES WERE RIPPED APART, LIFESTYLES FOREVER CHANGED, AND INNOCENT LIVES TAKEN. THE END
