Abstract
This chapter provides a thorough examination of National Socialist race theories and racial policies, their preconditions, practices, and outcome. First, it asks whether the deep-rooted belief in different categories of ‘racial worth’ (Rassewert) and ‘racial degradation’ (Entartung) serves as one marker in explaining the inner functioning of the Nazi regime and the unbroken loyalty of perpetrators, bystanders, and collaborators until the very end. Second, it analyses how far Nazi racism differed from race theories and policies common in Western countries during the first half of the twentieth century. The contribution argues that ‘race’ needs to be considered one of the central integrating principles of the National Socialist state – if not the guiding concept. According to recent scholarship, ‘race’ did not stand in opposition to other basic tenets like ‘economic exploitation of the occupied countries’, ‘territorial expansion’, and the quest for ‘total dominance’, but provided a smoothly linkable and highly suggestive concept.
