Hitler's American Model
The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law
James Q. Whitman
Discover the shocking truth about the American impact on Nazi Germany's notorious Nuremberg Laws. In Hitler's American Model, James Whitman reveals the real, sustained, significant, and revealing interest the Nazis took in American race policies. Learn how American citizenship and antimiscegenation laws proved directly relevant to the two principal Nuremberg Laws, and uncover the ultimate, ugly irony that when Nazis rejected American practices, it was sometimes not because they found them too enlightened, but too harsh. This groundbreaking book will upend your understanding of America's influence on racist practices in the wider world.

@NickClairmont1 I’m sorry. I’m giving you historical facts. Whitman’s book is a work of history, based on archives. The Nuremberg laws draw on anti-miscegenation laws. These facts do not absolve Germany of culpability (as would be clear if you knew my writings in the German press). – fuente
