Ehrenreich, who is director of the university programs division of the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Museum Memorial in Washington, D.C., will present “Addicted to Race: Eugenics and the Holocaust” at 7:30 p.m. at Temple Achduth Vesholom. The temple is located at 5200 Old Mill Road in southwest Fort Wayne.

In his lecture, Ehrenreich will discuss “…how Nazi Germany used principles of the worldwide eugenics movement to effect and justify the segregation, sterilization, and finally murder of those deemed ‘unworthy of life’ between 1933 and 1945.”
