And Mass Sterilization

This is another image that comes from a propaganda film from the same company as our last entry. This photo is captioned: “A moral and religious conception of life demand’s the prevention of hereditary ill offspring.” This is basically a call for people to support the Nazi sterilization effort, which they figured would eliminate “lesser” people. Eugenics was given many names during Hitler’s reign of terror. Many people agreed to such atrocities out of fear for their own lives. Others, brainwashed by Hitler’s years of propaganda, actually believed they were serving the greater good by giving up their ability to produce offspring.
