                         A 1935 timetable for a girls’ school in Nazi Germany.

                                   Nazi Control of Education.

      Hitler wanted to create a “Thousand-Year Reich”, in which the Nazis would rule forever. He
       believed the way to achieve this was to win the support of the young people of Germany. He
       therefore began a nationwide programme of INDOCTRINATING young people, getting
       them to believe in the key Nazi ideas.
   

                      This was done by controlling the education system.

      If you had been a German student in the Nazi period your teacher would be acting under
       strict instructions. They had to belong to the Nazi organisation of the German Teachers’
       League, and had to make sure that they taught Nazi ideas – or they were dismissed.
      The teaching of school subjects was controlled so that the young were “indoctrinated” with
       Nazi ideals.

      What do you think that students would have been taught about in History, and why?




      What do you think was the purpose of studying Eugenics?




      Why might PE have figured so prominently on the timetable?




      What do you think would have been the focus of Race Studies?
These notes will form the basis of an essay :
                         
   “ HOW DID THE NAZIS AFFECT THE LIVES OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN NAZI GERMANY?”

Why did Hitler feel he had to take
control of the German education
system?




How did schools help to indoctrinate
young people in Nazi ideas?




What was the appeal of Nazi Youth
groups to young German people in the
1930s?
Can you name any specific groups?




The Nazis encouraged young people
to take part in what sorts of
activities?




How and why did the Nazis treat
boys differently to girls? – (Kinder,
Kirche, Kuche)




Were all young people happy to join
the Hitler Youth? Can you find any
evidence of opposition – eg. Lives
that were affected in a different
way?
