An earlier woke housewife’s contributions funded the holocaust. Railroad magnate Harrimans fortune funded the following:

Throughout the first six decades of the twentieth century,
hundreds of thousands of Americans and untold numbers of others were
not permitted to continue their families by reproducing. Selected because
of their ancestry, national origin, race or religion, they were forcibly
sterilized, wrongly committed to mental institutions where they died in
great numbers, prohibited from marrying, and sometimes even unmarried
by state bureaucrats. In America, this battle to wipe out whole ethnic
groups was fought not by armies with guns nor by hate sects at the
margins. Rather, this pernicious white-gloved war was prosecuted by
esteemed professors, elite universities, wealthy industrialists and
government officials colluding in a racist, pseudoscientific movement
called eugenics. The purpose: create a superior Nordic race.
To perpetuate the campaign, widespread academic fraud combined
with almost unlimited corporate philanthropy to establish the biological
rationales for persecution. Employing a hazy amalgam of guesswork,
gossip, falsified information and polysyllabic academic arrogance, the
eugenics movement slowly constructed a national bureaucratic and
juridical infrastructure to cleanse America of its “unfit.” Specious
intelligence tests, colloquially known as IQ tests, were invented to justify
incarceration of a group labeled “feebleminded.” Often the so-called
feebleminded were just shy, too good-natured to be taken seriously, or
simply spoke the wrong language or were the wrong color. Mandatory
sterilization laws were enacted in some twenty-seven states to prevent
targeted individuals from reproducing more of their kind. Marriage
prohibition laws proliferated throughout the country to stop race mixing.
Collusive litigation was taken to the U.S. Supreme Court, which
sanctified eugenics and its tactics.
The goal was to immediately sterilize fourteen million people in the
United States and millions more worldwide-the “lower tenth”-and then
continuously eradicate the remaining lowest tenth until only a pure
Nordic super race remained. Ultimately, some 60,000 Americans were
coercively sterilized and the total is probably much higher. No one knows
how many marriages were thwarted by state felony statutes. Although
much of the persecution was simply racism, ethnic hatred and academic
elitism, eugenics wore the mantle of respectable science to mask its true
character.
The victims of eugenics were poor urban dwellers and rural “white
trash” from New England to California, immigrants from across Europe,
Blacks, Jews, Mexicans, Native Americans, epileptics, alcoholics, petty
criminals, the mentally ill and anyone else who did not resemble the
blond and blue-eyed Nordic ideal the eugenics movement glorified.
Eugenics contaminated many otherwise worthy social, medical and
educational causes from the birth control movement to the development
of psychology to urban sanitation. Psychologists persecuted their
patients. Teachers stigmatized their students. Charitable associations
clamored to send those in need of help to lethal chambers they hoped
would be constructed. Immigration assistance bureaus connived to send
the most needy to sterilization mills. Leaders of the ophthalmology
profession conducted a long and chilling political campaign to round up
and coercively sterilize every relative of every American with a vision
problem. All of this churned throughout America years before the Third
Reich rose in Germany.
Eugenics targeted all mankind, so of course its scope was global.
American eugenic evangelists spawned similar movements and practices
throughout Europe, Latin America and Asia. Forced sterilization laws and
regimens took root on every continent. Each local American eugenic
ordinance or statute-from Virginia to Oregon-was promoted
internationally as yet another precedent to be emulated by the
international movement. A tightly-knit network of mainstream medical
and eugenical journals, international meetings and conferences kept the
generals and soldiers of eugenics up to date and armed for their nation’s
next legislative opportunity.
Eventually, America’s eugenic movement spread to Germany as well,
where it caught the fascination of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi movement.
Under Hitler, eugenics careened beyond any American eugenicist’s
dream. National Socialism transduced America’s quest for a “superior
Nordic race” into Hitler’s drive for an “Aryan master race.” The Nazis
were fond of saying “National Socialism is nothing but applied biology,

and in 1934 the Richmond Times-Dispatch quoted a prominent American
eugenicist as saying,
“The Germans are beating us at our own game.”

First Abortion Conference in the U.S.

Dr. Mary Calderone, medical director of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, organized the first-ever national conference on abortion in the U.S. The conference ran for three days (April 15–17) and was held at Arden House, on the estate of the Harriman family near Newburgh, New York.

Prescott Bush worked for the Harriman's for awhile and was treasurer of late 40s planned parenthood campaigns.

Nice to be rich, but money doesn't come with morality.
