When you think of the holocaust, the first thing that probably comes to mind is something along the lines of "Those goddamn Germans... WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?" But what a lot of people fail to realize is that the holocaust was not the result of a racist Germany all on it's lonesome, but at least in part a product of the "eugenics" movement which was present around the world. So what role did racism in the US play in the eugenics movement? The answer is "a pretty big one". Woops, our bad.
