Leading politicians in Nazi Germany saw the American Revolution as a great advancement for the Aryan race and were influenced by US race, immigration and eugenics laws in coming up with their own laws. Today we are in conversation about this history with Yale Law professor James Whitman.
James Q. Whitman is a Ford Foundation Professor of Comparative and Foreign Law at Yale Law School and author of the book Hitler’s American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law.
