EUGENIKA

Unknown bulletins of the Polish Eugenics Society. We have all the numbers from 1918 to 1920. Publisher: dr Tadeusz Mischke.
During the interwar period not only in Nazi Germany but in Poland too, the medical profession (especially psychiatrists) were very much in favor of eugenics and proposed several sterilization bills to the health authority, all of which included involuntary and compulsory sterilization of specified groups of individuals. The bills were rejected and no sterilization law was passed in Poland.
These bulletins show how the eugenics ideas expanded from innocent thesis to bloodthirsty science.

Report of the President of the American Eugenics Society, Inc.

Published in June 26, 1926
This document is strongly connected to one of the most tragic episodes in the history of the United States and – end of ends – another countries (especially Germany).
First sterilization law was introduced in the state of Indiana in 1907. This sterilization law was the outcome of a dream prevailing at the turn of the 19^th and 20^th centuries of creating an ideal human, a perfect society, devoid of any ills and problems, and of creating a master race.
