| Abstract
|
:
|
Challenges the widespread association between German eugenics and the Final Solution, focusing on eugenics as a political strategy for rational management of populations. In his eugenic treatises, Wilhelm Schallmayer (1857-1919), founder of the discipline, advocated a new branch of hygiene aiming to limit, through administrative measures, the reproduction of the socially "unfit" and to give incentives to the educated middle classes to increase their progeny. Although favoring population management without ethical reservations, Schallmayer was not a racist, rejecting both the term "Rassenhygiene" and the Aryan racism of social anthropologists such as Ludwig Woltmann. German eugenics was, however, adopted by the Nazis as a cover for euthanasia and, later, for anti-Jewish racial persecution.
