About this series
H.H. Laughlin was crucial for the Nazi's crusade to breed a "master race." This American positioned himself to have a significant effect on the world's population. During his career Laughlin:
- Wrote the "Model Eugenical Law" copied by the Nazis to draft the Nuremberg racial decrees.
- Appointed as an "expert" witness for the U.S. Congress when the 1924 Immigration Restriction Act was passed. The 1924 Act would prevent Jewish refugees from reaching the safety of U.S. shores during The Holocaust.
- Provided the "scientific" basis for the 1927 Supreme Court case of Buck v. Bell that made "eugenic sterilization" legal in the United States. Over 80,000 Americans were sterilized against their will as a consequence.
- Defended Hitler's Nuremberg decrees as "scientifically" sound in the American press in order to dispel the criticism of Nazi eugenics.
- Created the political organization that ensured that "scientific racialism" would survive the negative taint of The Holocaust and be instrumental in the Jim Crow era of American legislative racism.
H.H. Laughlin was given an honorary degree from Heidelberg University by Hitler's government, specifically for these accomplishments. Yet, no one has ever written a book on Laughlin. Despite the vast number of books about The Holocaust, Laughlin is mostly unknown outside of academic circles.
H.H. Laughlin was funded by the Carnegie Institution of Washington, D.C. This author was given permission to survey Laughlin's archived correspondence at the institution. These documents had not been seen for decades. They are the backbone of this book as they evidence Laughlin's collaboration with Hitler's henchmen. The story told by these long-forgotten documents intensifies at the juncture when the Carnegie leadership came to the horrible realization that one of its most recognized scientists was supporting Hitler's regime.

1
From a "Race of Masters" to a "Master Race": 1948 to 1848 Vol. 1 - The Eugenics Anthology Nazism remains an enigma. Historians do not know whether to slot Nazism as a phenomenon of the political "right" or "left," largely because of a misunderstanding of how central eugenics was to the regime. Eugenics, or "racial hygiene," was at the core of National Socialism's domestic policy, foreign policy, culture wars, and even Hitler's obsession with cars, highways, and city planning. Thus, no coherent understanding of the regime is possible without first grasping the nature of eugenics. Eugenics did not originate with Nazi Germany. It was the culmination of a worldwide movement that was widely accepted by the global scientific and academic community. This book traces the origins of the Nazi eugenics state, working backward down the timeline, tracing from leaf down to the root. We investigate this 100-year trajectory from its beginnings in British and American Academia, delving into the conveniently forgotten inner-workings of a scientific era, uncovering previously unpublished manuscripts, professional correspondence, and conveniently forgotten publications. With the centenary of The Holocaust looming, uprooting the web of professional connections that engendered this movement is in order. The seeds of Holocaust denial take root and prosper with misinformation. Clarity and transparency are imperative, as they leave no room for denial theories that would deprive the victims of justice, or rob the living of a future.
