John Glad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Glad is an academic who specializes in translating Russian literature, the Holucaust, and in eugenics. Glad, who is Jewish, has written extensively on how Judaism is a eugenics movement and on how it is practiced by Zionists and in Israel. He has written on Nazi Germany, World War II and the Holocaust.

Glad says that before World War II, eugenics was popular among humanitarians of both the right and left and that now it has become nearly taboo.

He has collaborated with another Jewish eugenicist, Seymour Itzkoff, on a book promoting universal eugenics.

He has written for The Jewish Press, Mankind Quarterly and The Occidental Quarterly, the latter a journal he interviewed with.

Glad is now a professor at the University of Maryland. He received his Ph.D. degree from Rutgers University.
