Eugenics manifesto was the name given to an article supporting eugenics, published in 1939 in the journal Nature, entitled Social Biology and Population Improvement.[1][2]
In 2004, John Glad wrote that the document denounced Hitler's racism and the economic and political conditions that create antagonism between the races.[3] "The Second World War had already begun, and the authors explicitly decried antagonism between races and theories according to which certain good or bad genes are the monopoly of certain peoples."[1]

In September 1939 the most prominent American and British eugenicists published "Social Biology and Population Improvement" in the journal Nature. In the document which came to be popularly known as The Eugenics Manifesto, the authors firmly denounced Hitler's racism, decrying "economic and political conditions which foster antagonism between different peoples, nations and 'races,'" and calling for "a removal of race prejudices and of the unscientific doctrine that good or bad genes are the monopoly of particular peoples or of persons with features."
