Alrighty, let me start by explaining what all this nonsense is to be about. I'm currently a senior history major who is attempting to finish her thesis. Sounds pretty normal, right? Most people write about their favorite war, or an influential person in history, or write about an internship program...Me? I'm writing about Nazis.
HOLD UP.
Before you run away in fear or contact my parents and campus police, let me clarify: I'm writing about Nazi science and what went on in different aspects of eugenics. This means I'm researching specific doctors, certain concentration camps, American involvement in Nazi science (yeah, that's a doozy...) as well as the German Atomic Project. Feel a little better, now? I promise, all this is done purely because I find is fascinating to chart and discover these things out, especially because Nazis tend to be grouped under the concept of "Hitler was bad" and nothing more is said.
What I'm hoping this blog will do is accurately help me document what I'm doing, as well as give me a place to share fun (and not so fun) facts and things I'm learning, both in the thesis writing world, as well as in the realm of Nazi Science.
Now, this post comes a bit late, I understand (considering I started my project....in May 2013...whoops) but I promise, I'll do an interactive catch-up to get us to where I am now! Feel free to comment/like/share ect

Fun fact: Checking out more than one book with "Nazi" in the title gets you very concerned stares in an elevator.
I'll be watching!
