ALFRED PLOETZ

There was a small, but very vocal, part of the American population who argued that certain people should not be allowed to have children as they were inferior. Before Hitler started his problem of forced sterilization, many of our states—allowed forced sterilization of people they did not feel were desirable to bear children. Hitler was very complementary to the American pseudo scientists who advocated this.

Later, in the 1930s Ploetz became a Nazi and changed his views about the Jews and supported Nazi Anti-Semitism and crimes against the Jews.
