Laughlin\u003c\/b\u003e was highly important for the Nazi \u003cp\u003ecrusade to breed a \"master race.\" This American positioned himself to have a \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esignificant effect on the world's population. During his career Laughlin would:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e~ Write the \"Model Eugenical Law\" that the Nazis used to draft portions of the \u003cp\u003eNuremberg decrees that led to The Holocaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e~ Be appointed as \"expert\" witness for the U.S. Congress when the 1924 Immigration \u003cp\u003eRestriction Act was passed. The 1924 Act would prevent many Jewish refugees from \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ereaching the safety of U.S. shores during The Holocaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e~ Provide the \"scientific\" basis for the 1927 Buck v. Bell Supreme Court case that \u003cp\u003emade \"eugenic sterilization\" legal in the United States. This paved the way for 80,000 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmericans to be sterilized against their will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e~ Defend Hitler's Nuremberg decrees as \"scientifically\" sound in order to dispel \u003cp\u003einternational criticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e~ Create the political organization that ensured that the \"science\" of eugenics \u003cp\u003ewould survive the negative taint of The Holocaust. This organization would be \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003einstrumental in the Jim Crow era of legislative racism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e H.H. Laughlin was given an honorary degree from Heidelberg \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversity by Hitler's government, specifically for these accomplishments. Yet, no one \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehas ever written a book on Laughlin. Despite the very large amount of books about The \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHolocaust, Laughlin is largely unknown outside of academic circles. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Carnegie Institution of Washington, D.C. gave this author \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epermission to survey its internal correspondence leading up to The Holocaust and before \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe Institution retired Laughlin. These documents have not been seen for decades. They \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eare the backbone of this book. The storyline intensifies as the Carnegie leadership \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecomes to the horrible realization that one of its most recognized scientists was \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esupporting Hitler's regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eIMPORTANT NOTE:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e This copy is an \u003cb\u003eA.R.C.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(Advanced Readers' Copy).
