The origins of the Holocaust have been debated and evaluated by historians for decades. Since, historians have evaluated the Holocaust to not have a single origin, but rather view the Holocaust as an evolving narrative of suffrage of European Jewry and other groups. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the influences that racial science had on the Holocaust. Extensive research, and evaluation of historical context of antisemitic influences reveal that racial science was laden in policies implemented by the Nazi regime. The impact that racial science had on Europe during the Third Reich’s reign, effected social, political, and cultural aspects that ultimately led to the murder of millions of Jews and other groups.
