The illustration at the top of this USMBOOKS web page shows the family tree of a genetically healthy German family.
The image directly above shows the opposite, genetically impure people who had 16 children. The text in the upper
left hand corner explains that if the grandparents had been sterilized, society would have been
saved from the cost of caring for degenerate offspring that only created more problems.
The image above shows famous people and where they
'fit' amongst their siblings. Right, the difference in
birthrate between educated people and criminals.

In the foreword, the author explains that after the National Socialist revolution a new awareness had formed which made citizens of Nazi Germany more aware of their heritage and their home country. Procreation of healthy, racially pure people was one of the important basic principles to the German future and the destiny of National Socialist Germany.

This 6-¼ x 9 inch, 80-page softcover book was published to help parents educate themselves on the subject of heredity and make them aware of their important role in preparing their children for the responsibility of creating a racially pure family, thereby fulfilling one of their duties, that of ensuring the continuation of the Hitler’s Third Reich.
