From 1933 to 1945, Nazi Germany enlisted the help of physicians, scientists,
public health officials and academic experts to develop racial policies aimed at “cleansing” German society of individuals viewed as biological threats to the nation’s “health.” What began with the mass sterilization of “genetically diseased” persons resulted in the near annihilation of European Jewry. Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race, features original artifacts, photographs, documents and historic film footage illustrating how Hitler’s Nazi regime attempted to implement its vision of an ethnically homogeneous community through a program of racial eugenics that culminated in the Holocaust.
Appropriate for high school age and above, Deadly Medicine will be on display
at no charge at the new National Archives and Records Administration. Contact Lori Cox-Paul, Education Specialist at NARA, at 816-268-8017 or lori.cox-paul@nara.gov to schedule at tour.
