Give a description of schools under Nazism...
Answers
Education in "racial awareness" was given in schools and children were constantly reminded of their racial duties to the "national community". Biology and political education were compulsory. Children were taught about "worthy" and "unworthy" races.
The ultimate purpose of education was to fashion citizens conscious of the glory of the country and filled with fanatical devotion to the national cause. Courage in battle, sacrifice for a greater cause, boundless admiration for the Leader and hatred of Germany's enemies, the Jews were the central themes of teaching history.
At school, students were taught to worship Adolf Hitler. All textbooks reflected the Nazi ideology. Children were encouraged to wear Hitler Youth and German Girls' League uniforms to school. School noticeboards were covered with Nazi propaganda posters.
Education played a very important part in Nazi Germany in trying to cultivate a loyal following for Hitler and the Nazis. The Nazis were aware that education would create loyal Nazis by the time they reached adulthood. TheHitler Youth had been created for post-school activities and schools were to play a critical part in developing a loyal following for Hitler – indoctrination and the use of propaganda were to be a common practice in Nazi schools and the education system.
