The History of East-Central European

Eugenics, 1900-1945
Sources and Commentaries

Edited by Marius Turda

"A number of things make this volume extremely useful for scholars of eugenics ... One
immediate strength lies in the richness of the sources used ... Another is the nuanced
and complex approach contributors take to exploring the autarchic eugenic traditions of
their individual states ... while, at the same time, detailing attempts to establish
common eugenic values ... This extremely well-written and thoroughly-researched
volume will provide scholars of eugenics and related subjects with a wealth of
information and primary sources. It makes a major contribution to the study of eugenic
thought." Social History of Medicine

"This excellent collection of essays is more than an introduction to East-Central

European eugenics. It is a detailed investigation illuminating a rather dark period of
European history ... [and] an essential read for scholars interested in both the general
and specific aspects of European eugenics." Journal of Historical Geography

The History of East-Central European Eugenics, 1900-1945 redefines the European history of eugenics by exploring the ideological
transmission of eugenics internationally and its application locally in East-Central Europe. It includes 100 primary sources translated
from the East-Central European languages into English for the first time and key contributions from leading scholars in the field from
around Europe. This volume examines the main eugenic organisations, as well as individuals and policies that shaped eugenics in
Austria, Poland, the former Czechoslovakia, the former Yugoslavia, Hungary and Romania. It also explores the ways in which ethnic
minorities interacted with national and international eugenics discourses to advance their own aims and ambitions, whilst providing a
comparative analysis of the emergence and development of eugenics in East-Central Europe more generally.

Complete with a glossary of terms, a list of all eugenic societies and journals from these countries, as well as a comprehensive
bibliography, The History of East-Central European Eugenics, 1900-1945 is a pivotal reference work for students, researchers and
academics interested in East-Central Europe and the history of science and national identity in the 20th century.
