There is a video called "The Lynchburg Story" that may be the program you're talking about. The blurb from the cover is: This film charts the history of the American eugenics program under which 80,000 inmates in state institutions have been compulsorily sterilized. In Virginia between 1905 and 1972, several thousand children deemed by the state as unfit to reproduce were taken from their families and forced to live in the Lynchburg Colony. Victims recall their experiences of beatings, solitary confinement and other abuses. The film was made in 1993 and can be checked out from the Virginia Tech library in Blacksburg, VA or probably requested through Interlibrary Loan from a number of other schools.

But in none of the things said about it, was it mentioned that the early days of Virginia Trainig School's sterilization program was the pattern by which Adolph Hitler copied for his making of the "Master Race". There was a film made about this and shown on TV a number of years ago. I was born and grew up in Lynchburg, and was very surprised to hear that Hitler was invited to visit, did so, and adopted the plan for his own use. Does anyone know all the facts and truth about this situation who could enlighten us about what occurred?

Va., and all of the family that knew him personally is gone now. I do have a picture of him.
