Re: Races
In biology, race is an obsolete term referring to subspecies. Since there are no subspecies in Homo sapiens, races do not exist in humanity.

Re: Races
Though Hitler tried to say that some humans were more advanced than others, thus trying to fulfill Nietzche's idea of a superman. An obvious godless philopher that clearly inspired the Nazi endevours.
​
I must object to this, as anyone who has actually read Nietzsche's works would know that the ubermensch is not hereditary, rather, it is something you become.
​
The only Nietzsche that supported anti-semitism was his sister, who distorted his works.
​
Nietzsche would have despised everything the NAZI's stood for. He stopped communicating with his friend Wagner due to Wagner's anti-semitism. In fact, to quote Nietzsche himself, "By the summer of 1876, during the time of the first Festspiele, I said farewell to Wagner in my heart. I suffer no ambiguity; and since Wagner had mover to Germany, he had condescended step by step to everything I despise--even to anti-Semitism." (Nietzsche, 675-676)

Ever seen those wonderful documentaries about the famous archaeologist Indiana Jones?
