During the 1920s and ’30s, a mass movement gained traction for the furtherance of “race betterment.” Its charismatic leader called for putting millions of people in concentration camps. Those the movement deemed subhuman would be sterilized to protect future generations from the corruption of the gene pool. The campaign would give special attention to racial minorities.

These ideas evoke images of an angry man sporting a Charlie Chaplin mustache, a bad haircut, and a blood-red armband.

The movement occurred in America, not Nazi Germany. The leader was Margaret Sanger, not Adolf Hitler.
