Princeton educated Harry H. Laughlin was responsible for authoring the “Model Eugenical Law” that was passed by 30 States in the United States, and which was later copied to draft Hitler’s infamous Nuremberg Racial Decrees. Laughlin also served as “Expert Eugenicist” for the U.S. Congress in the passing of the 1924 Immigration Restriction Act, which was used to refuse Jewish refugees entry into the United States during The Holocaust. Despite his significant effect on world history, this is the first book ever written on H.H. Laughlin.

Description

H.H. LAUGHLIN: American Scientist. American Progressive. Nazi Collaborator.

The Eugenics Anthology – Vol #2 – Standard Edition

This volume examines the transatlantic influence of American eugenics on German racial policy during the early twentieth century.

Through extensive archival research, A.E. Samaan reconstructs the career of Harry H. Laughlin—an American scientist and advisor to the United States Congress whose work in sterilization, immigration restriction, and racial categorization informed elements of the Nuremberg Racial Laws.

Rather than positioning Laughlin as a fringe ideologue, the book traces his institutional support from respected academic, philanthropic, and governmental bodies. His story reveals the shared intellectual scaffolding that connected American progressivism with European racial science.

This edition is intended for academic libraries, historical scholars, and readers interested in the ethical legacy of scientific policy. It contributes to an ongoing reassessment of how national ideologies have often evolved through shared frameworks of pseudoscience and power.
