Download or read book The Nazi Ancestral Proof written by Eric Ehrenreich and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2007-10-10 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How could Germans, inhabitants of the most scientifically advanced nation in the world in the early 20th century, have espoused the inherently unscientific racist doctrines put forward by the Nazi leadership? Eric Ehrenreich traces the widespread acceptance of Nazi policies requiring German individuals to prove their Aryan ancestry to the popularity of ideas about eugenics and racial science that were advanced in the late Imperial and Weimar periods by practitioners of genealogy and eugenics. After the enactment of Nazi racial laws in the 1930s, the Reich Genealogical Authority, employing professional genealogists, became the providers and arbiters of the ancestral proof. This is the first detailed study of the operation of the ancestral proof in the Third Reich and the link between Nazi racism and earlier German genealogical practices. The widespread acceptance of this racist ideology by ordinary Germans helped create the conditions for the Final Solution.

Download or read book Our German Heritage written by James Schultz and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is entitled "Our German Heritage" not only because it is written for my family, but also for the many other people - in Wisconsin and beyond - who share some version of what is described here. It is intended to be a resource for three different audiences: - For people interested in how German immigrants influenced life in America, especially in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, - For people interested in the Bloedel, Flick, Graefe, Hesse, Scherr, Schulte, Schulz, Sinner, or Wannemacher family lines, and - For people looking for ideas for investigating their own family trees. Several things make this book special: All of my ancestors going back at least three generations came from what is now Germany and settled in Sheboygan County, where I grew up and live now. It draws upon three trips to Germany where I visited each of the locations where my ancestors lived, examined original documents, and photographed their homes, churches, and environs. Moreover, it includes contributions shared by relatives and genealogists in the United States and Germany. The book describes not only what I has learned from over a decade of intensive probing of my German roots, but techniques, tips, and insights into how I amassed this wealth of information. James E. Schultz, Ph. D.
