WHAT DOES MASTER RACE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

master race

Master race

The master race (German: die Herrenrasse, das Herrenvolk (help·info)) is a concept in Nazi ideology in which the Nordic race—a branch of what in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century taxonomy was called the Aryan race—represented an ideal and pure white race. In Nazi ideology the Nordic race was the purest example of the original racial stock of those who were then called the Proto-Aryans, whom the Nazis believed to have prehistorically dwelt on the North German Plain and to have ultimately originated from the lost continent of Atlantis. The Nazis declared that the Nordics (nowadays referred to as the Germanic peoples), were the true Aryans (ethnically closest descendants of the Proto-Indo-Europeans) because they were much less racially mixed with peoples who were "non-native" to the European continent, than other Indo-European peoples, such as the Slavic peoples, the Romanic peoples, and the Indo-Iranian peoples. From all of the European peoples, the Slavs (particularly Poles and Serbs) were considered the most racially inferior, and were placed at the bottom of the "racial hierarchy" along with Jews, Romani people and persons of color.
