The American Eugenics Movement: Precursor to the Holocaust CANCELLED
Session: 3960
Today, the Eugenics Movement is widely regarded as a brutal movement which inflicted massive human rights violations on millions of people. This workshop expores theories as to why the testing movement got started; what was behind immigration restrictions passed earlier in the 20th Century; why society tolerated the thousands of women that were sterilized against their will; the origins of the many anti-miscegenation laws; and more acts that were all designed to produce a more pure race in the U.S. This workshop will introduce you to the American Eugenics Movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and its significance. You will learn more about how Social Darwinism motivated societal change.
