N1 - 75 N2 - The paper deals with the implementation of eugenic and racist practices in Public Health and Welfare domain.

Vienna is a very instructive example, since its specific situation made the city a top priority on the agenda of Nazi racial politics. This can be seen in a broad range of fields, to mention just the most important ones : eugenic screening of marriages, persecution of “anti-social behavior”, forced sterilizations and mass killing of patients in the so-called “euthanasia” programs, as well as a considerable contribution of the health authorities to the persecution of Jews, Sinti and Roma and forced laborers UR - https://shs.cairn.info/revue-d-histoire-de-la-shoah-2005-2-page-423?lang=fr&redirect-ssocas=7080 ER -
