Medizin im Nationalsozialismus
Propaganda for the Nazi eugenics program began with propaganda for eugenic sterilization. Articles in "Neues Volk" described the appearance of the mentally ill and the importance of preventing such births. Photographs of mentally incapacitated children were juxtaposed with those of healthy children. The film "Das Erbe" showed conflict in nature in order to legitimate the Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring by sterilization.
