Some see this as an outgrowth of the Nazi eugenics movement of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, but as Webster Tarpley has pointed out, the eugenics movement actually originated in the US with the establishment of the Eugenics Recording Office, founded by Charles Davenport, which compiled records on millions of Americans with the ultimate aim of implementing mass mandatory sterilizations which were actually carried out on more than sixty thousand Americans in the 1920s
