DEADLY
MEDICINE: CREATING THE MASTER RACE
From
1933 to 1945, Nazi Germany carried out a campaign to “cleanse” German society
of people viewed as biological threats to the nation’s “health.” Enlisting the
help of physicians and medically trained geneticists, psychiatrists, and
anthropologists, the Nazis developed racial health policies that started with
the mass sterilization of “hereditarily diseased” persons and ended with the
near annihilation of European Jewry.
Deadly
Medicine: Creating the Master Race traces this
history from the early 20th-century international eugenics movement to the Nazi
regime’s “science of race.” It also challenges viewers to reflect on the
present-day interest in genetic manipulation that promotes the possibility of
human perfection.
