“Good German’ children were subjected to a process of Nazi schooling.” Explain how?
Answers
Answer:
The Nazi Party directed propaganda at children in Nazi Germany between the 1920s and 1945 to influence the values and beliefs of the future generation of German citizens according to their political agenda and ideology. The Nazi Party targeted children with mandatory youth organizations, school courses on racial purity, and anti-Semitic children’s books. The Nazi Party's propaganda took advantage of children's ignorance about the Jewish community. Although the Jewish population in Germany was the largest in central Europe, it was still a relatively small fraction of the overall population, with only 525,000 members (0.75% of the total German population).[1]
Explanation:
a) Nazi process of schooling was a rigorous physical and ideological training of the Nazi views and values. Hitler believed that in order to flourish the younger generation, the children had to be controlled both inside and outside school.
b) School books were rewritten. Jewish and German teachers and children were segregated and Jews were finally abolished from schools.
c) The boys were taught to be loyal, submissive, hate jews, and worship Hitler. Racial science was introduced to propose racial ideals to children.
d) even in sports, Hitler encouraged boxing as a sport in order for the children to be strong and masculine.
e) at 10, all boys had to enter jungvolk, at 14, all boys had to join the main nazi youth organization, Hitler youth, for serious ideological training. at 18, all boys had to join labor service and finally join one of the nazi youth organizations.
