BackgroundBoth academic and popular racial ideology and arguments for eugenics were active before the Nazis took power. Ernst Rudin, for example, was a German psychiatrist and eugenicist who advocated, with Alfred Hioche and Karl Bindong, of the idea that doctors should destroy "life devoid of value." He was among the architects of the July 1933 Law for the Protection of Hereditary Health, which established the Nazi criteria for mandatory sterilization. Rudin was one of Josef Mengele's university teachers.[3] In 1935, he was chairman of the German Association of Neurologists and Psychiatrists. [4] The Nazi notion of race was based on actual history, but heavily distorted to justify their views. Indo-European peoples did expand widely, probably out of the Caucasus, about 2000 BCE, most modern languages of Europe, Iran and North India are in the Indo-European language family, the Teutonic languages — German, Scandinavian, Dutch and English — are one branch of that family, and "Aryan" is one term for Indo-European. In the Nazi view, however, "Aryans" were superior to other races and the Teutonic branch the "purest" and most developed Aryans. The Nazis even considered the Slavs and Gypsies, both Indo-European groups, inferior, but the great focus of their persecutions was on the "sub-human" non-Indo-European Jews. The Nazi symbol, the swastika, has a long history dating all the way back to the neolithic era. It has been a Hindu and Buddhist religious symbol for several millennia. The Nazis considered it an Aryan symbol because of the association with the Vedic peoples, Sanskrit-speaking Indo-European invaders of North India. Detailed policy developmentThe RuSHA Case of the Nuremberg Military Tribunals dealt with accusations against five organizations concerned with developing the policies to implement the ideologies:[5]
Doctrine from these staff offices guided the extrajudicial detention and genocide of Jews and other groups that violated Nazi racial concepts, as well as deportation and slave labor. These were conducted by other organizations. References
