This essay discusses how fascism was predominantly a racist movement that was adopted by Hitler in his "Final Solution". Racist thinkers such as J.G. Herder and Arthur De Gobineau contributed to the formulation and dissemination of racist categories of thinking that paved the foundation to fascism. Fascism was also the expression of a people who felt humiliated and powerless and needed a scapegoat to take out their rage and frustration. 12 pgs. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
