Abstract in another language
Against the background of prewar measures and plans, this chapter discusses the basics of and links between different strands of Nazi ethnopolicy based on “othering” (of Jews, “Zigeuner,” …), biosocial engineering (eugenics), and territorial expansionism (Lebensraum); identifies driving forces (the impact of war and expansion; central planning and local initiatives) for child “euthanasia,” “Aktion T4,” and other forms of organized mass murder; and reflects on historiography re the influence of “biologization of the social” for Nazi policy and the Holocaust.
