Da Hitler introducerede det nazistiske idegrundlag, var det et dedikeret mål at dyrke det æstetiske ideal. Hvor samfundet engang havde været smukt, rent og ordentligt, var det gennem generationer degenereret og tæt på sammenbrud.

For hvorfor ikke aflive handicappede og psykisk syge for på den måde at sikre racens genrejsning som stærke og rene individer... og hvorfor ikke udrydde jøderne, der i Hitlers optik som rotter nassede på det tyske samfund.
