Make no mistake about it: the horrors of Hitler's AUSCHWITZ and AKTION T4 and der HUNGERPLAN were all birthed about the same time as Hitler himself: in the 1870s and 1880s as Social Darwinism captured the new science of BIOLOGY.
Nothing better captures how Hitler's gang regarded the small and weak, the useless mouths he sought to kill off to free up resources to defend the worthy from the evil, than the biological abortion-of-a-term, commensal.
The Communists and the Jews Hitler called germs, pathogens, parasites.
Notice the biological term used : parasite. Bad guys: fear.
Hitler called forth his Ayran race of Germans to be the hosts of New Order Europe. Good Guys, admire.
Another biological term.
But Romas, Poles, the handicapped : useless, neither helpful or harmful.
Useless one way or other: eliminate.
He did : tens of millions of them......
On Oct 16th 1940, Gotham's concrete jungle rescued the NATURAL penicillin stone its (British) builders had rejected and gave the world's first antibiotic shot. Alexander Fleming's ARTIFICIAL penicillin (ironically from leafy green Oxford !) won a Nobel but failed morally and technically.

On its 75th, let's remind terrorist Ramzi Yousef about a Manhattan project that saved far more lives than the A-Bomb ever killed.
