expression “final solution” which Hitler used to describe the annihilation of entire races and
groups of people was not coined by the Germans. The expression had been used for years
in America as a reference to the forced sterilization, and euthanasia of “defectives.”

One of the methods that was commonly suggested to get rid of "inferior" populations was
euthanasia. A 1911 Carnegie Institute report mentioned euthanasia as one of its
