Racists are people who believe that their race is superior to another. It is true that, to a large extent, NAZISM was influenced by racism from its founding in 1919 to 1939, as subsequent Social Darwinism was the basis of Nazi ideology. Racism, including racial anti-Semitism, which is prejudice or hatred towards Jews based on false biological theories, has always been an integral part of German National Socialism (Nazism). Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler's use of eugenic arguments to create a "master race". During World War II (1939-1945), the Nazis killed several million Jews, Roma (Gypsies), and members of other groups, deeming them inferior to the idealized Aryan race. In short, Hitler had preferred the stereotypical vision of an individual with blue eyes and blond hair over people possessing brown hair and brown eyes. This led to the 25-point program that the Nazis used to control German society at the time by manipulating their beliefs, particularly about racism, and taking away much of their freedom. It is then presented that there are many factors that help explain the influence of Nazism through race and racism.

Hitler justified that nature was cruel and that only the fittest would survive. Anti-Semitism was adopted as the official ideology of the Christian Party of German Social Workers, which was one of the influences of the racism that influenced Nazism.

In conclusion, it is quite clear that NAZISM was largely influenced by racism. It is explored that Hitler's influence on Social Darwinism and personal resentment impacted much of the population as his belief in the theory had led to the outcome of anti-Semitism such as discrimination of those who did not have the characteristics favorable, mainly involving the Jews. This was achieved through the rise of Nazism and the seizure of power by Hitler who was able to impose a series of racial policies and the 25-point plan.
