Description
From Racism to Genocide: Anthropology in the Third Reich is a groundbreaking study that reveals the shocking ways in which Nazi anthropologists justified racism and participated in the Holocaust.
Using original sources and previously unpublished documentation, Gretchen E. Schafft sheds light on the total range of anti-human activity within the discipline of anthropology during this period. Her research, spanning seven years and covering archives in the US and abroad, includes many original photos and documents that have never been published before.
This book also exposes the surprising role of the US in supporting early racial research, which continued through the first five years of Hitler's regime. With primary data and original texts, Schafft provides a unique insight into the development of racist theory and its practical applications.
