Vogel, Alfred. Erblehre und Rassenkunde in bildlicher Darstellung [“Racial Biology and Ethnology in Pictorial Presentation”]. Graphic reproductions by Eberhard Braucht.

(HOLOCAUST).

Verlag für Nationale Literatur Gebr. Rath

Stuttgart

1939

Second, revised and expanded edition. 60 (of 78) plates, including colored charts, illustrated and photographic plates.

The illustrated plates in this portfolio were intended for school instruction. Through these vivid, racist presentations, students would imbibe the rabid Nazi theories of race, with its pseudo-scientific basis in modern genetics. Alfred Vogel, a biology curriculum writer and elementary school principal in Baden, worked alongside artist Eberhard Brauchle to create these virulently extremist pedagogical images using the latest in color printing technology. Calvin University copy also lacking the final series of plates, see https://research.calvin.edu/german-propaganda-archive/vogel.htm.
