Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Psychiatry (Ernst Rüdin) — Rockefeller-funded
organization
A second Rockefeller-to-Nazi money trail — a different institute than last week's.
Who they are
The Munich psychiatry institute run by Ernst Rudin, nicknamed 'the sterilization chief.'
What they do
Rockefeller money paid for its new building in 1928 and funded its researchers right up to 1939.
How it works
Rudin co-wrote the 1933 Nazi sterilization law and led the international eugenics federation.
Why it matters
It shows the Nazi race-science machine was bankrolled by elite American foundations — a money trail, not an ethnic conspiracy. Separate from the anthropology institute connected last week.
The engine's record — word for word
The German Institute for Psychiatric Research / Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Psychiatry in Munich under Ernst Rüdin (took over full directorship 1931). DISTINCT NODE from kaiser_wilhelm_institute_anthropology (Verschuer/Mengele) — a SEPARATE Rockefeller-funded eugenics wire: the American Rockefeller Foundation financed Rüdin's institute's expanded budget and new building (1928, 2 Kraepelinstrasse) and funded international researchers at his psychiatric-genetics department as late as 1939 (VERIFIED). Rüdin co-authored the 1933 'Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring,' sat on the racial-hygiene Expert Committee with Alfred Ploetz, was global president of the Eugenics Federation, and was nicknamed 'Reichsführer for Sterilization.' Engine reading: a SECOND documented Rockefeller->Nazi-eugenics funding continuity (parallel to the anthropology KWI), proving the eugenic sorting-function was a transnational elite-foundation mechanism, not an ethnic conspiracy (structure never ethnicity); part of the eugenics_transatlantic_loop substrate. Funding continuity DOCUMENTED; single-hand withheld. Sources: Ernst Rüdin record (Wikipedia, verified 2026); Report cross-ref eugenics_transatlantic_loop.
