In 1920, the Germans developed a political party called the Nazi Party. The party emerged from German nationalists and racists. In 1921, when Hitler became chancellor, he supported this party and became somewhat of a leader to the party. They segregated anyone different; for example, the Jews, homosexuals, the handicapped, and anyone who opposed their political party. As years go by, the hatred seemed to grow and the matter gets worse, leading to the holocaust. During this time, Hitler and the Nazi Party controlled everything, including the education system. Before this all started, the education system in Germany accepted the Jews in public schools. Once Hitler became chancellor, he changed German society, the impact of Nazism, and the role of nationalism by education. In the most convenient definition, education is the process of imparting general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and preparing oneself intellectually for life.
The Nazis took a more complex toll to the education system,using it to their advantage on practicing the use of propaganda and allowing it to become a major tool to spread the Nazis’ racial policies. This education system took lots of attention and effort from Hitler and the Nazi Party. They focused on the German youth because Hitler believed that the children had the power and set a goal to create pure Aryan men only so that they won’t be defeated in the next major European war. They changed the ways of learning in school and developed youth groups such as the Hitler Youth. These changes vastly affected the lifestyle of Germans. The success of these youth movements were promoted by indoctrination. Hitler believed that all these changes would influence people to support him. It seems as if the...

... Youth to grow quickly. Hitler’s visuality of the “Thousand Year Reich” led him to try and gain support from young people. The Thousand Year Reich was the German Empire. Hitler aimed for it to be in running for 1,000 year but it turned out to be much shorter. I’m glad it ended sooner than later. HItler was a ruthless leader. How much more Jews would be have killed by the Nazis.
Once the Nuremberg Laws were passed in 1935, Jewish children could no longer attend schools. The Nuremberg Laws took away German citizenship of the Jews and prohibited sexual relationships and marriage between Germans and Jews. Taking away someone’s citizenship means they are somewhat of an illegal resident in the country so Hitler has the power to not allow Jewish children to go to school. These laws weren’t just for Jews; it was extended to negroes, gypsies and anything else different.
Righteous Acts Throughout humanity, human beings have been faced with ethnic hardships, conflict, and exclusion because of the battle for authority. Hence, in human nature, greed, and overall power consumes the minds of some people. Groups throughout the world yearn for the ability to be the mightiest. These types of conflicts include ethnic shaming, racial exclusion, physical and verbal abuse, enslavement, imprisonment, and even death. Some of these conflicts were faced in all parts of Europe and the Pacific Region during World War II.
After a few generations this would create kids and parents that were never going to question the fuhrer and make them completely oblivious onto what they are being taught. This helped with the war effort against basically everyone. This made the children obedient, as they were taught what Hitler wanted them to know and nothing that he didn’t want the children to know. They were forced to celebrate Hitler’s birthday and were forced to swore allegiance to him. The children were also taught that Germans were the ultimate race and that the other races and Jewish people are weak and should be crushed. The teachers where all people from the Nazi’s and were only males, the teachers even encouraged racism, and making fun of the disabled and other people with problems. They even made it seem like the Jewish people did terrible things like communism, destruction of important buildings and landmarks and even that they were terrorist that they are just bad and evil people over all. Everything from children's books to the classrooms have been changed to emphasize strength and not to pity the weak. The textbooks have been rewritten to teach them militarism, anti semitism, and to obey the fuhrer. All this taught them Nazi Ideology so the Third Reich will last forever. This also taught the future soldiers to be fearless and sacrifice themselves for
The Holocaust began in 1933 when the Nazis instigated their first action against the Jews by announcing a boycott of all Jewish-run businesses. The Nuremberg Laws went into place on September 15, 1935 which began to exclude the Jews from public life. These laws went to the extent of stripping German Jews of the citizenship and then implemented a prohibition of marriage between the Jewish and the Germans. These laws set the legal precedent for further anti-Jewish legislation. Over the next several years, even more laws would be introduced. Jews would be excluded from parks, fired from civil service jobs, required to register all property and restricted Jewish doctors from practicing medicine on any person other than Jewish patients.
As Hitler rose to power, he created many organizations within the Nazi Party. The groups were for many different people, including teachers, doctors, civil servants, women, lawyers, and students. The organization for students was called Hitler Youth, which became a very important part of Nazi Germany from its creation in 1922 to its disbandment in 1945. In the Hitler Youth, the German children were taught that they were better than everyone else. They were also taught that since they had Aryan blood, they were the master race and were the only ones that should be able to live in Nazi Germany. Even though the Hitler Youth members were brainwashed, they should still be held accountable for their actions because they caused just as much harm as
The Nazi Party, controlled by Adolf Hitler, ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945. In 1933, Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany and the Nazi government began to take over. Hitler became a very influential speaker and attracted new members to his party by blaming Jews for Germany’s problems and developed a concept of a “master race.” The Nazis believed that Germans were “racially superior” and that the Jewish people were a threat to the German racial community and also targeted other groups because of their “perceived racial inferiority” such as Gypsies, disabled persons, Polish people and Russians as well as many others. In 1938, Jewish people were banned from public places in Germany and many were sent to concentration camps where they were either murdered or forced to work.
Hitler didn’t want the German children’s childhood to be filled with poverty and disappointment like his own. To not fill the youth’s life with disappointment, Adolf Hitler “brainwashed” the children of Germany through education and youth groups. German children were enrolled into youth groups at age ten and remained members until they were eighteen. Youth groups were the only activity children were allowed to participate in after school. Hitler controlled the content taught both in the school curriculum and the youth groups.
Support for the Nazi party was due to the growing belief that it was a
On 30 January 1933, the German president, Paul von Hindenburg, selected Adolf Hitler to be the head of the government. This was very unexpected. Hitler was the leader of an extreme right-wing political party, the National Socialist German Workers (Nazi) Party. Hitler sought to expand Germany with new territories and boundaries. Hitler also focused on rebuilding Germany’s military strength. In many speeches Hitler made, he spoke often about the value of “racial purity” and the dominance of the Aryan master race. The Nazi’s spread their racist beliefs in schools through textbooks, radios, new...
The Hitler Youth was an obvious development of Hitler’s assumption that the eventual Nazi Germany was it’s youth. Women and children had different roles than what men had. Men were treated differently, and had to do mostly everything the working, paying bills etc… Men were the ones doing all the working and fighting for German. Women and children were not involved, people didn’t know what women and children were doing at this point. Hitler wanted to make the young ones into strong mature soldiers and educate them. Hitler used the government to make Hitler Youth the country all encompassing Youth movement. The Hitler Youth was not just a German version of the Boy Scouts. The Nazi seized power in 1933 separate youth groups were consumed into
Without some support from the German people there would not be anyone to enforce Hitler’s laws and spread his ideology. It was in this respect that the Hitler Youth played a major role. Although strong work ethic was embodied in the German adults in the early stages of Nazi Germany, it was effectively passed on and instilled in the German children through the teachings of the youth groups. These children who were taught to work as hard as possible for their country were major contributors to the German economy as they grew up and worked in the factories and that worked countless hours to increase Because production. The children who were in the Hitler Youth did not know anything but to follow the will of Hitler and were trained to be intolerant of opposition, Hitler had virtually no trouble in forming a security system that would eliminate anyone who opposed him. Also, because all members of the SS were members of the Hitler Youth, this meant his police force was also completely committed to his cause. This was extremely important politically because any type of political competition was merely eradicated by his
The Success of Nazi Policies Toward Education and Youth Hitler and the Nazi party had a range of policies to control education and the German youth. This was mainly to ensure loyalty to Hitler and the Nazi party. Some believed in these policies and other did not but it was fear and glory and the fear of social inadequacy that made most comply. Hitler and the Nazis wanted to control the education system and youth by controlling the teachers, pupils and the curriculum.
HItler created laws, named the "Nuremburg Race Laws," which set barriers on Jewish people. The laws would give all Jewish people a curfew and restricted them from using public transportation. Over time the Nuremburg Race Laws grew, they eventually restricted Jews form owning a business and seperated them from the rest of the country. They were forced to attend Jewish schools. These actions are very similar to the Jim Crow Laws in the United States during the period of segregation. The race laws Hitler created expanded to include more people including mentally handicapped, physically disabled, and colored people.
During the late 1920s and early 1930s, Germany was experiencing great economic and social hardship. Germany was defeated in World War I and the Treaty of Versailles forced giant reparations upon the country. As a result of these reparations, Germany suffered terrible inflation and mass unemployment. Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party who blamed Jews for Germany’s problems. His incredible public speaking skills, widespread propaganda, and the need to blame someone for Germany’s loss led to Hitler’s great popularity among the German people and the spread of anti-Semitism like wildfire. Hitler initially had a plan to force the Jews out of Germany, but this attempt quickly turned into the biggest genocide in history. The first concentration camps in Germany were established soon after Hitler's appointment as chancellor in January 1933.“...the personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew.” –Adolf Hitler
Hitler came to power in Germany in 1933, after World War 1 when tensions were high because the Treaty of Versailles blamed Germany for the destruction the war caused and they were faced with the payment for all the damages, which sent Germany into economic downfall. The Nazi party got a lot of electoral votes that year in the government, and started creating propaganda against the Jews; they blamed the Jews for the terrible things happening in Germany at the time. Some of the propaganda the Nazi party made were pictures of Jews pointing out what makes them Jewish and their distinctive traits, so you can spot them. These were on the front of newspapers printed everywhere in Germany. (An Introductory History of the Holocaust) They began to take away individual rights, and picked the Jews apart. They also put the Star of David on all Jews clothing, so they could easily be spotted in public.
Young people in Nazi Germany during the period between 1933 and 1945 had many different experiences according to the category of society in which they fell. This was determined by Nazi ideology regarding the supreme importance of maintaining the purity of the Aryan master race. All other ethnic groups were regarded as inferior, and this policy was pursued through force, propaganda and education. Jewish children, Hitler Youth, Swing Kids, and the disabled had very diverse treatment under Hitler's rule. They all had differing experiences due to Hitler's belief in the master race.
