Chapter 4 Racism, Eugenics & Human Nature, by Adolf Hitler by Adolf Hitler Edited by R. Joseph, Ph.D.
A person must be racially flawless. Let him be Germanic, or Roman, or Chinese, or a Jew, or an Indian, or a Negro, and so on. I respect all equally. We can work with and count on all of them. Each has his established traits. Depending on what one is looking for, this one or that one is to be preferred for the job in question. It is no different with people that with horses or dogs. Once one has established the proper race for a particular task, one can rest assured that the task will be resolved.
But if one takes racial mixtures, no matter of what kind, one can never know what racial traits will predominate at times when it counts, and especially when decisions have to be made. The work of a mongrel will always give evidence of both the races whose blood he bears. If you confer a responsible and prominent position on him, you will find that the unconscious struggle his discordant blood wages within him will be expressed in all his endeavors, in his judgements and in his decisions.
But Providence has allowed us to find the means to preventóor at least to limitóthe sickly and the weak from entering human society in the first place.
Now that we know the laws of heredity, it is possible to a large extent to prevent unhealthy and severely handicapped beings from coming into the world. I have studied with great interest the laws of several American states concerning prevention of reproduction by people whose progeny would, in all probability, be of no value or be injurious to the racial stock. Iím sure that occasionally, mistakes occur as a result.
When I think of all the means that have been invented and costantly used to prevent conception or even to kill and abort the beginnings of life, it seems to me the ultimate in hypocrisy and inner untruth if these same peopleóand it is them, in the mainócall the sterilization of those who are severely handicapped physically and morally and of those who are genuinely criminal a sin against God. I despise this sanctimoniousness in the world, as I despise all those who carry it in their faces and on their lips.
Such a Volk now possesses a quite natural instinct for whatever is of benefit and advantage to it and for what is potentially harmful. In the same way, it also feels quite instinctively which individuals belong to it and which do not. In nature, we see the same thing in a flock of sheep, for example, or among a herd of deer. If foreign animals stray into the community, they are attacked and expelled. Nature knows nothing of what we call humanitarianism and socialism. With brutal ruthlessness, the one who does not belong to the community is chased away from the herd, even out of the herdís territory, or it is simply massacred.
At present, besides applying the term ìraceî to white, yellow, and black racesówhich cannot scientifically be justified and grounded as a valid categorizationóit is customary within the white race, for example, to designate the Semites and the Aryans as ìraces.î Among the Semites, one counts the Arabs, the Israelites, the Egyptians, perhaps also the Persians, and possibly several other tribes. Among the Aryans are the Germans, the Romans, the Slavs, and several othersófor example, the Celts.
It is also customary to designate these subgroups with the same ìnations.î Perhaps the phrase ìfamilies of nationsî would be more accurate. For during the millennia, these nations have continued to increase and split off. But on the basis of their hereditary factors, they can surely still be considered families.
Thus, among others, Italians, Spaniards, southern Frenchmen form one family of Romance nations; Danes, Swedes, Germans, and Anglo-Saxons form a Germanic family; Ukranians, White Russians, Bulgarians, Yugoslavs, and others constitute the Slavic family of nations.
We must accept the mixing of blood as it is. We must not call one blood worse than another, one mixture better than another. Rather, we must employ other means to breed a higher form from this gray mass. We must try to bring to the surface the valuable traits of the people living in Germany, to cultivate and to develop them, and we must find ways and means to prevent the propagation of all the bad, inferior, criminal, and decadent tendencies and all the congenital diseases so damaging to the Volk.
Furthermore, we must educate the young people in the beauty of movement, the beauty of the body, and the beauty of the spirit. Athletics, personal grooming, public performances of competitive games and contests, and a revival of the performing arts along the old Greek models will contribute to making a girl see how the man who is worthy of her should look and appear, as well as letting a boy know what his ideal woman is like. Then, he will voluntarily turn away from the games coquettish puppets play, from dyed hair, painted faces, rouged lips, and red fingernails.
And such selective breeding will become all the more a matter of course the more we bring the German Volk together and weld it into one. In their earliest childhood, in kindergarten, in elementary school, in the Hitler Youth and the League of German Girls, all classes must meet. No distinction should be allowed to be made between the rich and the poor, between the high and low, between city and country, between employer and employee; rather, there is only the distinction between respectable and disreputable, between companionable and uncompanionable, between aboveboard and furtive, between truth and lies, between courage and cowardice, and between health and sickness.
Then, when these children grow up, they will use their feet to cast aside all this party rubbish, and in every district, they will elect the man, the only one, who represents them and goes to the Reichstag on their behalf. Only then will we see true democracy!
In the autumn, the worker bees kill the drones, once these have fulfilled their lifeís purpose for reproduction and procreation and would from then on be nothing but, simply, drones, in the same way the Bolsheviks simply killed all the drones in their state. For drones invariably coerce others to do additional work, in order to preserve their drone existence. It is true that a bee and a man are both willing to workóthey are not willing to be slaves!
The elimination of worthless life is therefore dictated by nature, a consequence of the purpose of human existence, as well as the existence of all life.
Nature spontaneously eliminates all that has no gift for life. Man, alone amongst the living creatures, tries to deny the laws of nature.
The noise Rosevelt made at his press conference was typically Hebraic.
There's nobody stupider than the Americans. What a humiliation for them!
Compare the civilisation of the Greeks with what Japan or China was at the same period: itís like comparing the music of Beethoven with the screeching of a cat. In the sphere of chemistry, for example, itís been proved that everything comes to them from us. But the Japanese are at least discreet. They keep to themselves the secrets that are entrusted to them. Our two Navies have always worked in a pleasant spirit of collaboration. We owe precious information to the Japanese.
Evolution usually occurs in one directionóthat is to say, in the direction f the development of intellectuality.
It's an imperative obligation for the white man, in the colonies, to keep the native at a distance.
From the cultural point of view, we are more closely linked with the Italians than with any other people. The art of Northern Italy is something we have in common with them: nothing but pure Germans.
The objectionable Italian type is found only in the South, and not everywhere even there.
I was greeted at the station by the Duke of Pistoia, a real degenerate. Beside him was another duke, no less degenerate.
No sooner do we land in a colony than we install childrenís crÍches, hospitals for the natives. All that fills me with rage.
White women degrading themselves in the service of the blacks.
In this matter, we must resolutely push aside our lawyers and hygienic experts. No vaccination for the Russians, and no soap to get the dirt off them.
No pity must be shown to beings whom destiny has doomed to disappear.
In a general way, one must never have pity on those who have lost their vital force.
Reichsfuehrer SS Himmler mentioned the order he had given two years ago on the duty of healthy members of the SS to perpetuate their species. In view of the heavy losses suffered in this war by the SS, particularly among the younger and unmarried members, Himmler was very pleased now that he had given the order when he did. The fine blood of these men who were gone would not be wholly lost, but was being perpetuated in their children. The Fuehrer expressed himself as follows:
At Berchtesgaden, we owe a great deal to the infusion of SS blood, for the local population there was of specially poor and mixed stock. I noticed this particularly while the Berghof was being built, and I was most anxious to do something to improve it. To-day, thanks to the presence of a regiment of the Leibstandarte, the countryside is abounding with jolly and healthy young children. It is a practise which must be followed; to those districts in which a tendency towards degeneracy is apparent we must send a body of Èlite troops, and in ten or twenty years time, the bloodstock will be improved out of all recognition. I rejoice to know, therefore, that our soldiers regard it as a duty to their country to persuade the young women to bear healthy children. Especially at this moment, when the most precious of our blood is being shed in such quantities, the maintenance of our race is of vital importance.
To deserve its place in history, our people must be above all a people of warriors.
If a German soldier is expected to be ready to sacrifice his life without demur, then he is entitled to love freely and without restriction.
I do not think, therefore, that we should sanction, except in isolated cases, marriage between our soldiers and foreign women. The request may often be based on sound reasons, but all the same it should be refused. Most of these cases, obviously, result from a sexual experience which the applicant desires to continueóand the number of requests submitted to me is enormous. It suffices, however, to glance at the photographs of most of the candidates to realise that in the majority of cases, the union is not desirable. Most of the women concerned are either malformed or ugly, and from the racial point of view, the results could not be satisfactory. I am sure, too, that such marriages would not stand the test of time. A really happy marriage can only be attained by people deeply attracted to each other. All in all, then, I think it is far better that we should turn a blind eye to certain little irregularities rather than giver permission for a legal union which will certainly come to grief in the future.
Where marriage itself is concerned it is, of course, essential that both parties should be absolutely healthy and racially beyond reproach.
This confirms the opinion I have already expressed when speaking about the Englishman, Cripps, and all half-caste familiesóeven if they have but a minute quantity of Jewish blood in their veinsóproduce regularly, generation by generation, at least one pure Jew. Roosevelt affords the best possible proof of the truth of this opinion.
Roosevelt, who both in his handling of political issues and in his general attitude, behaves like a tortuous, pettifogging Jew, himself boasted recently that he had ìnobleî Jewish blood in his veins. The completely negroid appearance of his wife is also a clear indication that she, too, is a half-caste.
Such examples should open the eyes of all reasonable people and be a warning of the menace that half-castes can be. A complete assimilation of foreign blood is not possible, and the characteristics of the foreign race inevitably continue to reappear.
I was shown a questionnaire drawn up by the Ministry of the Interior, which it was proposed to put to people whom it was deemed desirable to sterilise. At least three-quarters of the questions asked would have defeated my own good mother. One I recall was: ìWhy does a ship made of steel float in the water?î If this system had been introduced before my birth, I am pretty sure I should never have been born at all!
Let us, for Godís sake, throw upen the windows and let the fresh air blow away nonsense of this nature!
It is a mistake to say that youth is stupid; youth follows its instinct, and any little urchin has a very much shrewder knowledge of his teacher than the latter has of him! My dog understands perfectly everything I say to him; I am the one who does not understand.
Now, thank God, we have the Hitler youth, where the child is judged on all his qualities, and not solely on his scholastic attainments; character is taken into consideration, the talent of leadership is encouraged, and every child has the legal right to show what he can do.
The Aryan peoples are peoples who are particularly active, and will work from morning to night.
It's absurd to try to suppose that the frontier between the two separate worlds of Europe and Asia is marked by a chain of not very high mountains;and the long chain of the Urals is no more than that.
The real frontier is the one that separates the Germanic world from the Slav world. It;s our duty to place it where we want it to be.
It's inconceivable that a higher people should painfully exist on a soil too narrow for it, whilst amorphous masses, which contribute nothing to civilisation, occupy infinite tracts of a soil that is one of the richest in the world.
Here and there one meets amongst the Arabs men with fair hair and blue eyes. They;re the descendants of the Vandals who occupied North Africa. The same phenomenon in Castille and Croatia.
The blood doesn't disappear.
