| Nazi Sterilization Act was enacted. |
On this day in 1933, the Nazi Party of Germany established its infamous Law for the Prevention of Offspring with Hereditary Diseases, the first ominous law in establishing a system that allowed the extermination of millions of people by the state.
The law was the creation of three major figures in the movement of "racial hygiene" and geneticists eugenicists Rudin Ernst and Arthur Gutt, and the lawyer Falk Ruttke. They were appointed by the Nazi party to draft a law that would allow the company to get rid of "problem" citizens.
The party believed that the mentally ill undermined the whole society and were a hindrance to the aspirations of Germany to be strong, healthy and pure. The conclusion of this diabolical policy, called Final Solution, was the establishment of death camps in Nazi-controlled Europe, where millions of citizens were killed "unwanted" under the T4 program.
Jews, communists, Gypsies, homosexuals, along with the mentally ill, were systematically collected and sent to their deaths, and considered unworthy to live, according to a regime convinced of racial superiority.
