Eugenics were initially introduced by Charles B. Davenport
According to Davenport, in his major work, Heredity in Relation to Eugenics (1911),
"The general program of the eugenicist is clear -- it is to improve the race by inducing young people to make a more reasonable selection of marriage mates; to fall in love intelligently. It also includes the control by the state of the propagation of the mentally incompetent. It does not imply the destruction of the unfit either before or after birth."
Adolf Hitler had a different view on Eugenics. He applied it to race and thought that the only way that Germany would get better was through cleansing of raicial hygiene, in other words, keeping Germans primarily while Jews and etc were to be executed of. He went through with this approach and got everyone else hooked onto this idea.
