1927

German eugenicist Eugen Fischer published book on racial hygiene, Medizinische Erblichkeitslehre und Rassenhygience, growing out of collaboration with Charles Davenport on mixed-race marriages: “The connections between U.S. eugenics and German racial hygiene were already in place.” Also in 1927, Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity, and Eugenics founded in Berlin. It provided “much of the key scientific justification for the Nazis’ ideology on racism, eugenics and racial hygiene, with Fischer its first director: “a significant chunk of money to pay for multiple research programs in the KWIA came from the Rockefeller Foundation in the United States” (Rutherford, 119).
