Actually, before WW2 started we really did not care about Nazis a lot and what they were doing. Hey, we also rejected to accept thousands of Jews from MS St. Louis fleeing persecution in Germany.

Actually many from the US eugenics movement were interested in what Germany did, often finding positive words. And Germany got much of its inspiration from the US. Eugenics fell into disfavor only after WW2, it got a renaming into human genetics and the same persons continued to work on the subject.
