Abstract
Despite its official Catholic nature, Jozef Tiso’s Slovak State apparatus adopted not only the teachings of the eugenic movement but also the racial-hygiene ideology of National Socialist Germany, which it gradually implemented into its political culture. This study presents how eugenic and racial-hygiene thinking was introduced into the structures of Hlinkova slovenská ľudová strana (HSĽS; Hlinka’s Slovak People’s Party), the self-governing party of independent Slovakia during the Second World War, against the backdrop of developmental trends in Europe. What is emphasized here is the gradual formation of the racial paradigm in the spirit of a eugenic and racial-hygiene framework, as well as the formation of a ‘pure Aryan Slovak nation’ cult, physically and mentally contrasting with racially-hygienically ‘unclean and degenerate’ Jews and Roma.
尽管其官方的天主教性质,但Jozef Tiso的斯洛伐克国家机器不仅采用了优生运动的教义,而且还采用了国家社会主义德国的种族卫生意识形态,并逐渐将其纳入其政治文化。本研究展示了优生和种族卫生思想是如何被引入到Hlinkova slovensk ľudová strana (HSĽS;在欧洲发展趋势的背景下,Hlinka的斯洛伐克人民党(Slovak People 's Party)是第二次世界大战期间独立的斯洛伐克的自治政党。这里强调的是在优生学和种族卫生框架的精神下逐渐形成的种族范式,以及“纯粹雅利安斯洛伐克民族”邪教的形成,与种族卫生“不洁和堕落”的犹太人和罗姆人形成鲜明的身心对比。
