Recently, Whoopi
Goldberg said the Nazi Holocaust was not about race. She was mistaken, as Hitler
and his Nazi colleagues proved otherwise.
Wilhelm Marr argued the Jews
were not a religion. Rather, they were a race locked in a “struggle for
existence” with Germans
Hitler aided the
mass murder of myriads of Sinti and Roma (Gypsies),
Slavs, and others he saw as racially inferior.
Fritz Lenz was one of the leading
geneticists in Germany before the Nazis came to power. He integrated
anti-Semitism into his co-authored textbook on human genetics. And he was by no
means alone.
The Germans
dubbed the extinction of the Jews as Scientific Racism, so it gave a bad scent to all German philosophies.
