Master Race

Master Race
(Meisterrasse)
   The fundamental belief of the Nazis held that in nature there is a hierarchy among human beings. The Nazis contended that the Aryan race was superior to all other races, and this earned it the right to rule over inferior peoples, such as the Slavs. The mission of National Socialism, therefore, was to weed out those who had corrupted German blood through intermarriage, such as the Jews, and breed future generations of blond, blue-eyed Germans who would restore the pure blood of Aryan superiority.
   See also Ideology; Lebensborn.
