Quotes by Richard Weikart (?)

“Darwinism by itself did not produce the Holocaust, but without Darwinism... neither Hitler nor his Nazi followers would have had the necessary scientific underpinnings to convince themselves and their collaborators that one of the worlds greatest atrocities was really morally praiseworthy.”

― Richard Weikart, Hitler's Religion: The Twisted Beliefs that Drove the Third Reich
