  • When The Supreme Court Sanctioned Forced Sterilization.
    Oct 8 2024

    Send us a text

    In this chilling episode of Hidden Verdicts, we examine the disturbing legal foundation that connects the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Buck v. Bell to Adolf Hitler’s Final Solution. Discover how the legal sanction of forced sterilization in America provided a model for Hitler’s policies of racial extermination and the far-reaching implications of that ruling. This episode is dedicated to the women who endured these brutal procedures and the hundreds of thousands who were never born as a result — lives erased before they could begin. Thought-provoking, unsettling, and rooted in legal history, this episode sheds light on a chapter many have never heard—but one that represents a tragic failure of justice.
