Racial policy of Nazi Germany
The racial policy of Nazi Germany was a set of orders and laws implemented in Nazi Germany under the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler, based on pseudoscientific and racist doctrines asserting the superiority of the putative "Aryan race". Nazi eugenics aimed for "racial hygiene" through compulsory sterilization of people they viewed as subhuman (Untermenschen). This policy culminated in the Holocaust. Under the Nazi appropriation of the term "Aryan", a racial hierarchy was erected with an Aryan "master race" (Herrenvolk) at the top. Centuries-long residents of German territories were marked as inferior, including Jews, Romani people, and the vast majority of Slavs. The Nazi Party's Office of Racial Policy organized the program and extensively published circulars and directives to relevant administrative organs, newspapers, and educational institutes. The major legislation that enacted Nazi racial policy was known as the Nuremberg Laws.
