Not sure if this topic has already been discussed, but if not, let’s talk about it!
Hitler‘s Nazi regime, which killed more than 6 million Jews, was actually inspired by the US model of eugenics.
Many of the laws were based on US programs, like sterilization of „inferior“ groups of people.
“Even Adolf Hitler took notice. In “Mein Kampf,” published in 1925, he celebrated the ideology. “There is today one state,” wrote Hitler, “in which at least weak beginnings toward a better conception [of citizenship] are noticeable. Of course, it is not our model German Republic, but the United States.” Hitler’s Reich deployed its own sterilization laws, nearly identical to those in the United States, within six months of taking power in 1933.“
Winston Churchill was vice president of the International Eugenics Conference in London.
“The improvement of the British breed is my aim in life,” Winston Churchill wrote to his cousin Ivor Guest on 19 January 1899, shortly after his twenty-fifth birthday.“

Op-Ed: It's time for California to compensate its forced-sterilization victims
Last week, Virginia became the second state to compensate victims of one of the most shameful acts in U.S. history: state-sponsored forced sterilization.
