In a world increasingly defined by cultural chaos and moral relativism, many are asking a profound question: “How did we get here?” This question is at the heart of *The 1916 Project*, a groundbreaking book and full-length documentary by Seth Gruber, CEO and founder of the White Rose Resistance.

This project is not just another piece of historical reflection; it’s a compelling exposé of the roots of today’s culture of death. It uncovers the historical and ideological connections between Margaret Sanger, the Nazis, and the pervasive influence of eugenics.
For those in the pro-life community, The 1916 Project is essential viewing and reading to understand the battle we face today and how to confront it effectively.
Margaret Sanger: The Mother of Planned Parenthood and Eugenics
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, is often heralded as a feminist icon and champion of women’s rights. However, the *1916 Project* reveals the dark truth about her ideology and legacy. Sanger was a devout eugenicist who sought to control the population of those she deemed “unfit.”
Her vision extended far beyond mere birth control; she advocated for forced sterilization and segregation camps and even proposed introducing sterilizing agents into urban water supplies to curb the reproduction of the poor and marginalized. This chilling legacy of population control remains deeply embedded in Planned Parenthood’s operations today.
In the documentary, Seth Gruber connects the dots between Sanger’s eugenic ideas and Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich. The film exposes how Sanger’s board members and ideological allies openly supported Nazi policies, including forced sterilization and the pursuit of racial purity. These disturbing historical truths have been buried for decades, but they indict not only Sanger but also the broader liberal establishment that continues to embrace her ideas.
The Links Between Eugenics and Today’s Cultural Chaos
Eugenics is more than a historical atrocity—it’s a worldview that still influences our society. Gruber argues that the culture of death, rooted in eugenics, has evolved into the ideologies that normalize abortion, transgender surgeries on children, and the commodification of human life.
The *1916 Project* shines a light on how Planned Parenthood has become the largest provider of abortion, pornographic sex education, and puberty blockers for gender-confused youth. These issues aren’t isolated—they stem from the same dehumanizing worldview that Sanger championed over a century ago.
