Question
What kind of racial segregation was practised by Hitler?

Answer

  1. Once in power, the Nazis quickly began to implement their dream creating an exclusive racial community of pure Germans by physically eliminating all those who were seen as ‘undesirable’ in the extended empire.
  2. Nazis wanted only a society of ‘pure and healthy Nordic Aryans’.
  3. They alone were considered ‘desirable’.
  4. Only they were seen as worthy of prospering and multiplying against all others, who were classed as ‘undesirable’.
  5. This meant that even those Germans, who were seen as impure or abnormal had no right to exist.
  6. Under the Euthansia Programme, Helworth’s father along with other Nazi officials had condemned to death many Germans, who were considered mentally or physically unfit.

Here is the letter written by Mahatma Gandhi to Adolf Hitler on June 23rd, 1939.
HERR HITLER
BERLIN
GERMANY
DEAR FRIEND,
Friends have been urging me to write to you for the sake of humanity. But I have resisted their request, because of the feeling that any letter from me would be an impertinence. Something tells me that I must not calculate and that I must make my appeal for whatever it may be worth.
It is quite clear that you are today the one person in the world who can prevent a war which may reduce humanity to the savage state.
Must you pay that price for an object however worthy it may appear to you to be? Will you listen to the appeal of one who has deliberately shunned the method of war not without considerable success?
Anyway I anticipate your forgiveness, if I have erred in writing to you.
I remain,
Your sincere friend,
M.K. GANDHI
