This book redefines the European history of eugenics by exploring the ideological
transmission of eugenics internationally and its application locally in East-Central Europe.
It includes 100 primary sources translated from the East-Central European languages into
English for the first time and key contributions from leading scholars in the field from around
Europe. This volume examines the main eugenic organisations, as well as individuals and
policies that shaped eugenics in Austria, Poland, the former Czechoslovakia, the former
Yugoslavia, Hungary and Romania. It also explores the ways in which ethnic minorities
interacted with national and international eugenics discourses to advance their own
aims and ambitions, whilst providing a comparative analysis of the emergence and
development of eugenics in East-Central Europe more generally.
