The main proponent of the movement was Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Minister for Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda. To achieve his goal of bringing the vast expanse of German culture in line with Nazi ideology, Goebbels actively purged cultural organizations of Jews and others believed to be responsible for so-called degenerate works of art as seen by the Nazis.
