Eugenics Under the Nazis: Made in America In-Person
Eugenics flowered in America, championed by the best and the brightest including Margaret Sanger to Theodore Roosevelt. It was a profoundly optimistic view, that humanity could be improved by controlling human breeding. The Nazi death camp horrors were directly based upon laws in Indiana and California which allowed for involuntary sterilization.
