 By the way, here is an excerpt from the Brittanica Student Encyclopedia's article on eugenics: 

 :From the late 19th century through the end of World War II in 1945, eugenics became a part of a broad, and often destructive, social movement to “improve” the human race. This was particularly evident in Germany beginning in the 1920s and throughout World War II. Following eugenic theories that advocated eliminating ""inferior"" races, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party exterminated some 6 million Jews and murdered millions of others, including Roma (Gypsies), homosexuals, and persons who were mentally ill or physically handicapped. (See also genocide; Hitler, Adolf; World War II.) 

 And here is another from Encyclopedia Brittanica itself: 

 :The assumptions of eugenists came under sharp criticism beginning in the 1930s and were discredited after the German Nazis used eugenics to support the extermination of Jews and the murder of many Gypsies, mentally ill persons, and homosexuals. 

 I just want to put that out as a bit of contrast, so you can see how much more careful our article is about making explicit connections.  "
