Description: Most people aren’t aware of the rampant Anti-Semitism that took place in the Supreme Court in the first four decades of the 20 th Century. Overt Anti-Semitism, displayed by supposedly learned members of the highest court in the land, would hardly be tolerated in today’s society. Eugenics, the practice of select human breeding, was promoted in the late 1800’s and the first 50 years of the 20 th century in America! A U.S. president, Ivy League Universities and important heads of corporations were all in agreement with this movement. The Immigration Act of 1924, a result of this movement, prevented hundreds of thousands of Jews from entering this country, thus sentencing them to deaths in Nazi Germany. A famous Eugenics case reaches the High Court in 1927. How did the court respond? Also, learn how the Nazis on trial at Nuremburg used the US Eugenics movement as an excuse for what they did to the Jews of Europe!
