Episode Synopsis

Excerpts from book, One of Humanity's Darkest Days, the Truth about the Holocaust  Eugenics, a pseudo-science focused on creating a "superior" human race through controlled breeding, played a pivotal role in Nazi policies during the Holocaust. This dangerous ideology, which originated in the late 19th century with Francis Galton, gained traction in the early 1900s, influencing laws in countries like the United States. The Nazis, under Hitler's leadership, embraced eugenics to justify their actions, including the mass murder of Jews and disabled people.  Hitler's admiration for Galton and his incorporation of eugenic principles into his book Mein Kampf and Nazi racial policies highlight the devastating consequences of this pseudo-science.
