then came the mediterraneans the europeans and then later on the caucasians on top and in meditating on it in spirit and in her cause here under. the kaiser vilhelm institute for anthropology was founded in berlin darlin in 1927 during the nazi period it became the center for research in eugenics and racial hygiene its director was anthropologist oig and fisher fisher also became the intellectual father of the draft law that the national socialists aim to use to implement their racial hygiene policies it laid down that anyone posing a threat to the help of the german race should not be permitted to reproduce this is the slogan on the sets of you don't know who exist for this was called the law for the prevention of oss bring with hereditary diseases of july 14th 1933 published by one of the s.s. his favorite publishing houses lehmann's in 1934 it contains the entire legal text

and who was responsible for what. this inhumane legislation was purely about sterilization and its aim was to legalize amber genom eyes eugenic your forces massed their allies ation functionaries your only cohesion lickety me or you could be me and will. exhibitions promoted public acceptance of the new law their aim was to familiarize germans with the idea of racial hygiene. the need for forced sterilizations was even justified economically but fear for the racial purity of the german people was the main issue. surveys were launched in the nazi heartland of turin jia to help set up a comprehensive database of racial biological characteristics covering the entire population it was the 3rd reich version of big data.

at the end of july 19th $33.00 just a few days after the law for the prevention of offspring with hereditary diseases was passed with. a young anthropologist travelled from berlin to the rhineland. campbell was a member of the organ fishes staff at the kaiser vilhelm institute the objective of his trip was to gather anthropological data on the so-called rhineland bastards arbel measured and photographed $33.00 children ranging from 5 to 11 years of age he had found the children's personal data in earlier studies from the 1920 s. . are both photographed and measured almost all of the children without their consent

or that of their parents which is why the images have been my. unrecognisable here . later published the findings of his examinations in a scientific journal the children's privacy was violated for a 2nd time. mostly not so not sort of this one of the national socialists did using no shape and hair and eye color that was pseudo science because the race is nothing more than a societal construct as it lacks any scientific foundation in the division of humanity into races was and is 1st and foremost a societal and political classification. and if skin color is added as a differentiating characteristic then as present day scientists we must say that skin color is the poorest characteristic you could use to ascertain races on all of us and fists new research shows that everyone was dark skinned until around

a 1000 years ago africa is the cradle of humanity for all peoples africa is for elimination d.v. get a mention the main point of this is that the concept of race should never be used again because there have never been races so needless and gave them the same constructor these are constructs and it is impossible to create an artificial hierarchy of categories using something like hair skin and eye color was under the need of a window should you wouldn't violent ones induced you've been high in putting in. an interview done. functional if you include the bust. in foster vice or lawsuits or stool. then on pulley to sion who had such tools and. given heaven of. mind comes.

in april 9. $137.00 chancellor adult hitler personally gave the secret order to forcibly sterilized the rhineland so-called occupation children a special unit was set up under the nazi secret police the gestapo to carry out the order. it was called special commission number 3. 21 hired by special commission number 3 was the body that organized the illegal forced sterilizations and all the documents pertaining to the children in question were made available to special commission 3 in the us and is thus what's interesting is that the children's data were supplied by the state authorities responsible for hereditary issues as part of the information gathering process they had written to all district commissioners and mayors ahead of time. young greg or bart's from plight also fell into the clutches of special commission 3 he was just

16 years old popular water on them there already a few fascists here in the community especially in the local police and there was a local propaganda leader who was an absolutely committed nancy i believe they're the ones who reported greg. the widow of the doctor that they pressured mothers by telling them if you refuse to allow your sons to be sterilized then we're going to have to re educate them. that meant a concentration camp the mothers knew well well that meant that because of us also on pritikin the children would be sent to live in a nazi camp in a fort on the mosul. and he was. in june $937.00 special commission 3 summoned to grego and his mother to cologne.

to stop o h q cologne after consulting with a senior civil servant mr thorne the next appointment will take place at the protestant hospital cologne via tar on june 3rd at 7 30 am. for wards of the health authorities a. dusseldorf where they are usually ordered to appear must be picked up and brought to cologne by car. if contrary to expectations one or more of them fails to appear before the health authorities at the appointed time then the driver will have to collect them. i had to go to cologne to buy a tal hospital that's what it's called today it's a protestant hospital you know most of the catholic hospitals refused to perform these operations so they went to cologne and i had in the family that both of them stood on the bridge over the rhine and thought about throwing themselves in.

lifeboats and. now i was asked if i was straight in was if it is yes you cannot emphasize enough what this forest sterilization meant for these under-age children above all it destroyed their future prospects in life. it meant abdominal pain painful scars and persecution that left them traumatized that was all part of the program and the feelings of these children whose owner had been taken who had been told they were a disgrace or that they were only half human that traumatized them for the rest of their lives i'd say. is this abuse and. elizabeth hellman wrote about her operation in her book. at 1st i heard the rustling of clothing of people hurrying over. and i felt

a dim light had my eyes i tried but failed to get a clear picture. of what was actually happening fell away again and again and i floated in a fog of nothingness. my body seemed confined. i reached for it carefully. i felt the sack of sand weighing down on me and the pads beneath my knees. all at once i knew what happened you have to undo it i bellowed into the operating room. i was mortally wounded. a 1000 times i thought how happy i would be if i got pregnant. and what i could wear in order not to give my secret away the nurses words now you can't have intercourse . with calvin.

i recorded this because there will be nobody left who knows my true story after i die. perhaps it will help someone who had a similar experience maybe i can bring some light into the darkness. young vili never got to tell his own life story but his boyhood friend rudolf miller preserved some of it for us 80 years ago in december 940 rudolph and villi performed in a concert held to mark the day of german family music years ago wrote down his memories of that day. after. my villa came after me in the concert. although like i said he wasn't

a member of the hitler youth club this evening he wore the uniform the brown shirt with the belt and shoulder strap and the black tie he was almost a bit defiant as he entered in the auditorium adjusted the music stand to the correct height and tuned his violin without haste else so his friend was the same age and was already waiting to accompany him on the piano they performed a piece by bach to nod entitled. villi didn't seem to be nervous hardly at all the movements of his upper body were smooth and as the piece ended on a long note he looked over to his partner on the piano who nodded in approval i could then when the audience began to applaud loudly he had 1st looked helplessly to the side and then left in a sudden panic and fled the stage with big rushing steps as if he were running away from something but fans who had hurried off after him forced him back on stage. only then did really look at the audience and see all the friendly faces and sense

the wave of support that was washing over him and sympathy. yes it flowed over him like a warm wind. free he took a deep breath with an awkward little movement. if it wasn't until he heard the bravos of some of the girls that the tension drained from him and he felt himself beginning to look forward to a life that offered him more opportunities than he had previously hoped for. and hope to talk to.

a few dozen allowing orthodox christians to celebrate their most important holiday together that any minute any you get last year was a sad here for the 1st time jerusalem was locked down in the holy fire today and the church was closed the patriarch only had 4 priests with and this year is better not like before though when pilgrims from all over the world were visiting the country. but while israel loosened its restrictions only after reducing case numbers some orthodox countries have thrown caution to the wind potentially putting worshippers at risk. ukraine's government also lifted restrictions for the holiday despite having 100 times as many new cases as israel in the past week. they could have extended the lockdown but they were worried people would get angry and bored the government cares more about keeping people intertainment than about health. well when it was. similar scenes in russia where the

climate change is the reason why the young salmon have to be moved by road this is the 1st time in 6 years that we've got to give up but this is over. the drought in california's central valley has raised river temperatures and load water levels that slings can no longer swim to the pacific by themselves. reduce the overall mortality to 4 days and also reduce the amount of disease that they get. once they're set free it's not known whether the fish will ever return to breed in california in waters but it's hoped that many of these young salmon will survive and will boost the golden state's 900000000 dollars salmon industry. sports now and in football brasier dortmund are through to the german cup final after thrashing 2nd division side holds the kiel teenager attack edgier raina
