This post at Sociological Images discusses how Hitler deliberately chose to target Jews as part of his political strategy, and it goes on to discuss how his regime defined people as Jewish.

What I see is science and medicine used to define the limits of hatred. There's a photo of an "instrument for measuring facial features." It looks kinda like a pair of "body fat calipers."

I've gone over my limit of "blunt hate received" today, but I can see the parallels. I'm glad someone else sees this... it scares me. I'm at three intersects, female, disabled, and fat, that each get a lot of hate sent down the pipe, so to speak, and it's very wearying. People don't need more incentive to hate. :(
