The Horrifying American Roots Of Eugenics

Throughout my Education years, I’ve always wondered if the schools that I attended, will I really learn everything about America history? I feel like the school system has been hiding so much that they think we as students should not know about. I even noticed that some teachers or even most teachers do not like to teach the curriculum that was given. I remember reading my history textbook about the Holocaust and my teacher would get mad at the text because not all the information that happened in the past were not given. My teacher even suggested that there is more things that were left untold by the government. After school, I would go use my mother laptop and search in more information on the textbook and about the Holocaust, there were …show more content…
While reading this article, I knew the Nazis were a group of scientist, but for them to experiment on humans to find a perfect human offspring, it is just pure evil the way they handle their experiment.
