That is grim reading to start the day, but it is important, thanks for posting it. When I had my used bookstore I would come across titles put out by the Eugenics Society. It was rather jarring to read some of that stuff. They continued to publish right up until 1940 or so. The review forgot to mention that the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a proud member of the society.

What makes that sobering is that Havelock Ellis, Julian Huxley, and the rest of the list of suspects were well educated and cultivated people. It's one thing for a low life like Hitler to espouse those views, but one wouldn't expect it from lettered men sipping tea in the finest salons of London. Obviously, Hitler's ideas didn't spring out of a vacuum. Some today will allow that he probably borrowed from Nietzsche, but after reading through some of the Eugenics Society's material, it becomes obvious he cribbed directly from them and made their literature a part of the National Socialist's platform.
