Who influenced Adolph Hitler? It appears American eugenicists Leon Whitney and Madison Grant were Hitler's heroes . Edwin Black explains on pages 259 and 260 of his amazing book:
One day in the early 1930's, AES [American Eugenics Society] president Whitney visited the home of Grant, who was at the time chairing a eugenic immigration committee. Whitney wanted to show off a letter he had just received from Germany, written by the corporal , now out of prison and rising in German political scene. Grant could only smile. He pulled out his own letter. It was from the same German, thanking Grant for writing The Power of the Great Race. The fan letter stated that Grant's book was "his Bible."Just a reminder , Madison Grant was a big leader of the "conservationist " movement: which is another name for the eugenics movement if you are honest. Anyway, we encourage everyone to read Edwin Black's book because we are pretty sure that your local high school isn't teaching this blacked out history.
The man writing both letters to the American eugenic leaders would soon burn and gas his name into the blackest corner of history. He would duplicate the American eugenic program-both that which was legislated and that which was only brashly advocated-and his group would consistently point to the Unites States as setting the precedents for Germany's actions. And then this man would go further than any American eugenicist ever dreamed, further than the world would ever tolerate, further than humanity will ever forget.
The man who sent those letters was Adolf Hitler.
