John Glad

John Glad is an American academic who specializes in translations of Russian literature. Glad, who is Jewish, has written about Nazi Germany, World War II and the Holocaust. He received his Ph.D. degree from Rutgers University, and is currently a professor at the University of Maryland. He has written for "The Jewish Press", "Mankind Quarterly" and "The Occidental Quarterly".

Glad has also written about the eugenics movement, including how it is practiced by Zionists and in Israel. He avers that before World War II, eugenics was popular among humanitarians of both the right and left, and bemoans the fact that, in the wake of the Holocaust, it has become a nearly taboo subject. [http://www.whatwemaybe.org/txt/txt0001/Glad.John.2006.Review%20of%20Carmen,%20Politics%20In%20Lab.htm] His most recent book, "Future Human Evolution: Eugenics in the Twenty-First Century", advances humanistic arguments in behalf of universal eugenics.
