How children were trained under nazim
Answers
Following things have happened under Nazism:
(i)All schools were cleansed and purified. This meant that teachers who were Jews or seen as ‘politically unreliable’ were dismissed.
(ii)Children were first segregated: Germans and Jews could not sit together or play together. Subsequently, ‘undesirable children’ – Jews, the physically handicapped, Gypsies – were thrown out of schools. And finally in the 1940s, they were taken to the gas chambers.
(iii)‘Good German’ children were subjected to a process of Nazi schooling, a prolonged period of ideological training.
(iv)School textbooks were rewritten. Racial science was introduced to justify Nazi ideas of race. Stereotypes about Jews were popularised even through maths classes.
(v)Children were taught to be loyal and submissive, hate Jews, and worship Hitler. Even the function of sports was to nurture a spirit of violence and aggression among children.
