Apropos - Videos und Texte zur politischen Bildung S01 E74 Kultur im Dritten Reich

Production of the Federal Agency for Civic Education. Cultural autonomy was unthinkable under the Nazi dictatorship. The film - a montage of contemporary film and photographic documents - shows the effects of the Nazi policy of ‘Gleichschaltung’ on the visual arts, theatre, literature and poetry. Culture and media are functionalised for Nazi propaganda. Opponents of the regime are banned from their professions, imprisoned or forced into exile. Film clips of military torchlight marches and large-scale propaganda rallies demonstrate the Nazi concept of culture: the individual must submit to racial ideology. Media package: Video with accompanying and working material.
