How American race law provided a blueprint for Nazi Germany Nazism
triumphed in Germany during the high era of Jim Crow laws in the
United States. Did the American regime of racial oppression in any
way inspire the Nazis? The unsettling answer is yes. In Hitler's
American Model, James Whitman presents a detailed investigation of
the American impact on the notorious Nuremberg Laws, the
centerpiece anti-Jewish legislation of the Nazi regime. Both
American citizenship and antimiscegenation laws proved directly
relevant to the two principal Nuremberg Laws-the Citizenship Law
and the Blood Law. Contrary to those who have insisted otherwise,
Whitman demonstrates that the Nazis took a real, sustained,
significant, and revealing interest in American race policies. He
looks at the ultimate, ugly irony that when Nazis rejected American
practices, it was sometimes not because they found them too
enlightened but too harsh. Indelibly linking American race laws to
the shaping of Nazi policies in Germany, Hitler's American Model
upends the understanding of America's influence on racist practices
in the wider world.
