Answer:

The Nazi regime implemented a set of policies and laws based on a specific racist doctrine asserting the superiority of the Aryan race. This doctrine claimed scientific legitimacy and was used to secure Hitler’s position as dictator and to unite the German people against a common enemy. Racism, including racial antisemitism (prejudice against or hatred of Jews based on false biological theories), was always an integral part of German National Socialism (Nazism).
