| The Nazi's believed that human, like dogs, have pedigrees. The human pedigree was called the Aryan Race. This was the main reason the Nazis did experiments. The blonde hair, blue eyed, super men were "supposed" to be the only race. Blacks, Hispanics, Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, and anyone else who did not meet the race requirements were to be cleansed from the gene pool through genocide. Early in power, the National Science groups were pushed into research of the race and experiments commenced. First, the Nazis needed propaganda to prove all of the other races were inferior. The scientists measured everybody's head, nose, eyes, and blood types. Because no evidence came up supporting the Nazi's beliefs, most of the early propaganda were shams. It was "determined" that Gypsies had different blood and were inclined to criminal behavior. The same types of "findings" were made about all races other than the Nazis. After the camps were started, tons of genetic experiments were started. There was no limit to the amount of tests the victims were put through. The two major groups of experiments were first to refine the master race and second to determine the cause of defects. (BACK) |
