In Nazi ideology, the race-soul, race soul or racial soul (German: Rassenseele) is a "[m]ystical racial psyche greater than any individual member of the German race"[1]. The race-soul was variously believed to be the source of such things as justice and poetry; non-Aryan and mixed races were believed to lack these qualities.
