Description: War Against the Weak, based on the book “War Against the Weak: Eugenics and America’s Campaign to Create a Master Race,” traces the dark and forgotten history of eugenics and the pursuit of racial purification, from its beginnings in US institutions to its end, in the death camps of the Third Reich. Director Justin Strawhand and producer Pete Demas will be with us following the lively, often terrifying film, for what will be a fascinating talk about a deeply unsettling subject overlooked by history textbooks.
