Laughlin was given an honorary degree from Heidelberg University by Hitler's government, specifically for these accomplishments. Yet, no one has ever written a book on Laughlin.

The story told by these long-forgotten documents intensifies at the juncture when the Carnegie leadership came to the horrible realization that one of its most recognized scientists was supporting Hitler's regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eONGOING ORIGINAL RESEARCH: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruman State University, MO - Pickler Memorial Library - Special Collections - Harry Hamilton Laughlin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican Philosophical Society, PA - Genetics and Eugenics Collection. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalifornia Institute of Technology, CA - Register of the E.
