Excerpt:
Ritter’s associates included the anthropologist Dr. Adolf Würth and, until 1942, the zoologist and anthropologist Dr. Sophie Ehrhardt. Ritter’s closest associate was Eva Justin, a nurse who, received her doctorate in anthropology in 1944 based on her research with Gypsy children raised apart from their families. At the conclusion of her study, these children were deported to Auschwitz, where all but a few were killed.
In a report of his research findings in 1940, Ritter concluded that 90 percent of the Gypsies native to Germany were “of mixed blood.” He described such Gypsies as “the products of matings with the German criminal asocial subproletariat.” He further characterized Gypsies as a “primitive” people incapable of real social adaptation.”
You know, of course, that Plato is the father of eugenics, recommending infanticide to maintain racial purity.
It would be interesting to do a study of the percentage of PhD German scientists who supported Hitler compared to say, the percentage of Lutherans. I don’t really know what the result would be, but considering the attempt to smear science, it would interesting.
