How were the Jews and other undesirables taken out of schools ?
Answers
Answer:
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. School textbooks were rewritten. Racial science was
introduced to justify Nazi ideas of race; stereotypes about Jews were popularized even
through maths classes.
iv) 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.
v) Hitler believed that boxing could make children iron-hearted, strong and masculine.
