Eugenics programs often target racial minorities and people with disabilities. The idea behind this is to remove these people from the gene pool.
Charles Darwin did not directly address eugenics in his work on evolution. However, some individuals later used his theory of natural selection to support eugenics, the idea of improving the human population through selective breeding. This interpretation of Darwin's work contributed to the development of eugenics as a concept in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
to get s**t done
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.
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, which proposed that species evolve through natural selection, influenced the development of eugenics by providing a scientific basis for the idea of improving the human race through selective breeding. Eugenicists believed that by controlling reproduction, they could enhance desirable traits and eliminate undesirable ones, leading to a "better" human population. This connection between Darwin's theory and eugenics contributed to the promotion of eugenics as a legitimate scientific concept in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
I suppose because of the affiliation/association the SS had with the Nazi eugenics program .
According to the Nazi theories on eugenics the Slavs were a lower race.
the principal of eugenics are racism and abortion..
In a sense they are compatible, but not necessary for one another. Social darwinism implies that the strong is society will thrive will the weak will die, while eugenics is putting that into practice.
Francis Galton developed the theory of Eugenics
There are two types: positive and negative. Positive eugenics involves advantaging people who have superior genes. Negative eugenics involves sterilizing people who have inferior genes.

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) has historically supported eugenics as part of its broader ideology of white supremacy and racial purity. They promoted the belief that certain races, particularly whites, were superior and that social problems could be mitigated through selective breeding and the restriction of reproduction among marginalized groups. The KKK's endorsement of eugenics aligned with their goals of maintaining racial segregation and dominance, often advocating for policies that targeted non-white populations. This connection highlights the KKK's intertwining of pseudoscientific beliefs with their racist agenda.

eugenics is a term referring to the science of improving the racial question of humanity through selective breeding of superior types.
