Summary

Analysis of the orgins of the holocaust traditionally centres around voelkisch racial ideologies, overlooking the effects of racial ideas on biology and health. Based on a wealth of hitherto neglected archival sources, this book analyses the origins, social composition and impact of eugenics in the context of the social and political tension of an industrialising empire.

Health, Race and German Politics between National Unification and Nazism, 1870-1945 Reviews

'Weindling's book is a major contribution to an important subject. It brings a mass of fascinating detail to bear on the medical origins of Nazi exterminism. And will be required reading for all serious students of modern German history.' Times Higher Education Supplement
'... describes in horrifying detail how the German doctors' fear of an imagined national deterioration of one kind led them into complicity with a government whose degeneracy of another kind was all too real.' London Review of Books
'Paul Weindling's book is very good indeed ... [it] needs to be read by anyone embarking on a cultural history of the European world of 1900'. Norman Stone, The Guardian
