Hitler did not create eugenics. It was a term founded by Francis Galton which led to movements in the early 20th century which made way to laws which restricted Immigration, gave permission for the sterilization of the mentally ill and encouraged reproduction in those with desirable traits. Only after that did Hitler use some of the social goals of eugenics to back up his want to create a 'superior' race.

How did Hitler use eugenics to kill the Jews?

eugenics, being a theory was used to justify the persecution of the Jews, the killing was debatably a natural outcome of the Nazis' political philosophy (which included eugenics). The very same theories were being used in the US to deny Jews (and others) entry into the US, but there it did not lead to mass murder, eugenics alone can not account for the killing of the Jews.

What is eugenics theory?

Eugenics is a theory that by selecting humans for breeding according to race, health, etc. it is possible to create a race of people that is superior to others. Unfortunately, many ethical issues arise when eugenics is involved. Often times it is associated with racism, involves selective sterilization, and can even go as far as to suggest the euthanasia of people who aren't useful for the gene pool. I've written an interesting commentary on my site on one particular physicians opinion that happens to be based in eugenics.
