Explanation:
Eugenics and pseudoscientific racism played significant roles in Hitler's ideology, which ultimately led to the violation of human rights against Jews and Romani people (often referred to as gypsies) in Germany during the Nazi regime. Hitler and the Nazis believed in the superiority of the "Aryan" race and saw Jews and Romani people as racially inferior and a threat to their vision of a pure, Aryan society.
Drawing on eugenic principles, which advocated for improving the genetic quality of the human population through selective breeding, the Nazis implemented policies aimed at sterilizing individuals deemed "unfit" or "undesirable," including those with disabilities, mental illnesses, and members of minority groups.
Furthermore, pseudoscientific theories of race, such as Social Darwinism and the belief in a hierarchy of races with Aryans at the top, provided ideological justification for the persecution and eventual extermination of millions of Jews and Romani people in the Holocaust. These racist beliefs fueled propaganda campaigns that demonized these groups as subhuman and blamed them for Germany's social and economic problems.
Ultimately, these ideologies led to the systematic violation of the human rights of Jews and Romani people, including their deportation to concentration camps, forced labor, medical experimentation, and mass murder in gas chambers. The Holocaust stands as one of the most egregious examples of human rights abuses in modern history, driven by pseudoscientific racism and eugenic ideology.
