Erika Mann viewed the German educational system under Nazi rule as indoctrination rather than education. She wrote a book called "School for Barbarians" about the Nazi educational system, which taught children to repeat "Heil Hitler" many times per day and used arithmetic problems about bombing. Jewish children remaining in Nazi schools were used as objects of ridicule by teachers and students.
