Overview:
The main idea of this source is the relationship of eugenics with Hitler and the Holocaust. This video provides statistics of “Over 400,000 of the people that Hitler deemed as unfit were sterilized against their own will, and 70,000 of them were killed.” This video covers how eugenics was used throughout the Holocaust. The producer of this video explains how Hitler uses eugenics to get rid of his so called unfit. Hitler used eugenics as an excuse to get rid of the poor people, the ill ones and the Jews.
Argument:
The argument of this video is to prove how Hitler abused of the science of eugenics to get rid of population of people he believed should not live. The producer of this video argues that eugenics is a false science that is destructive and is used for racism and discrimination. The producer defends this by saying how Hitler would encourage the reproduction of his race so that I would be able to grow faster. He also defends it when he says that Hitler would sterilized interracial couples because that would only create a defective or impure person. The producer also defends that eugenics is a science of race because people were being determined their intelligence by the measurements of their body parts
Source:
The producer of this video is a ninth grade student who created this video as a project investigating eugenics used by the Nazis. This ninth grader tries to prevent discrimination and an event like the Holocaust to occur again. He uses his ideas; as well he uses sources and has a list of link of where his information comes from. This source is not one of the most reliable sources but does build a good idea, background and thoughts.
