CCHR�s public education campaigns expose psychiatry�s racial purity ideology, used both by Hitler in the Nazi euthanasia program, and later, to justify ethnic cleansing policies in the Balkans.

CHAPTER THREE Uncovering and Exposing Genocide

On November 20, 1945, American prosecutor Robert Jackson told the International Military Tribunal conducting the trial of Nazi medical doctors, �The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant, and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated.�

While psychiatry tried to hide any connection between itself and the racial genocide of the Nazi Holocaust, the fact remains that psychiatry spawned �eugenics� almost three decades before the Nazis took power in 1933. The historical evidence shows that it was psychiatry that turned the Nazis into mass murderers. And its ideology has continued to cause catastrophic social and political upheaval around the world, underlying South Africa�s apartheid, Russia�s political gulags, the Bosnia and Kosovo conflicts, Italy�s concentration camp asylums�and it now plays a decisive role in the rise of global terrorism.

However, through CCHR�s research and publications, the world at large is now able to know and recognize the trail of repugnant psychiatric ideologies precipitating these horrors and to prevent their recurrence.
