Life in Hitler's Germany. By Ela Nicholson.
Propaganda and censorship
They made films about how great the Nazis were and produced posters, newspapers, speeches, used the radio, etc.
The newspapers were also owned by the Nazis, no other newspapers were allowed.
Propaganda was run by Goebbels.
Books that the Nazis did not approve of were burnt.
The Nazis used propaganda to persuade the German people that they were right about everything.
In May 1933, 20,000 books were burnt on a bonfire by members of the Hitler Youth.
Women
They wanted women to have lots of babies, e.g. women who had lots of babies were given medals on Hitler's birthday.
Many women were sacked from their jobs e.g. from 1933 women could no longer be doctors.
Nazis wanted women to stick to their "natural" roles of wife and mother.
The Nazis had to change this policy later in the 1930s as they were short of workers.
Children
Boys had to join the Hitler Youth where they learnt military discipline.
Girls had the League of German Maidens where they learned how to become good mothers.
Boys were taught military skills so they could become good soldiers, and girls were taught housekeeping skills so they could become good mothers.
Jews
1935 - laws restricted Jews e.g. they could no longer marry non-Jewish people.
November 1938 - Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass) demonstrations against Jews which encouraged a lot of violence: 8,000 Jewish homes and businesses were attacked, 100 Jews were killed, and 20,000 more were sent to concentration camps.
1934 - lots of anti-Jewish propaganda.
Jews were seen as inferior.
