World War II Eugenics

Introduction

    Leading up to the start of World War II there were Eugenic practices being enacted throughout the world.  None were quite as severe or as widespread as the Eugenic practices in Germany.  The Germans used policies of both positive and negative eugenics.  They are remembered more for the negative Eugenic practices inflicted upon the Jewish people.  They also used postive Eugenic policies on their own citizens who were not Jewish.  The people effected by the positive Eugenics were typically of a mental handicapped nature.
