Magda - thank you for posting this.
As we have often discussed, a passionate belief in Eugenics is the dirty secret of the western intellectual tradition.
This belief was made Flesh by Hitler, and has since been preserved Secretly by the power elites that backed him.
The end scene of Peckinpah's masterpiece Cross of Iron fittingly ends with Brecht's nailing of this shamefulness:
Do not rejoice in his defeat, you men.
For though the world has stood up and stopped the bastard, the bitch that bore him is in heat again.
As true in 1945 as it is in 2012.
