Scope and Content
Poster from the 1938 racial science textbook, Erblehre und rassenkunde für die grund- und hauptschule, by Alfred Vogel. Nazi ideology sought to create a racially pure German nation. All those who did not belong to the Nordic race were to be excluded from the community. Thus citizens had to be educated to recognize the physical characteristics that revealed the racially undesirable, as well as the disabled, handicapped, and sickly.
