Weimar Germany = Time of cultural experimentation and innovation.
🎭 Real-world example: Think of the Roaring Twenties in the U.S. - jazz, flapper dresses, and wild parties. Germany had its own version of this!
Nazi Regime's Cultural Changes 🚫
Nazis aimed to control and coordinate all cultural activities.
Established Reich Chamber of Culture in 1933.
Under the control of the Propaganda Ministry.
📚 Real-world example: Imagine a school librarian banning all books they don't like. That's kind of what the Nazis did by burning books of Jews, socialists, and others in 1933!
Result: Many authors fled Germany, e.g., Thomas Mann, Heinrich Mann, and Bertolt Brecht.
The vibrant Weimar art scene was called 'degenerate' and blamed for Germany's post-war spiritual decline.
Film & the Nazi Regime 🎥
Dual purpose: Relaxation and propaganda.
Before every movie? A newsreel glorifying Nazi achievements.
Goebbels = big movie buff, knew films were powerful.
From 1933 to 1945: Over 1,000 films produced, but only one-sixth were full-blown propaganda.
🌟 Star Director:Leni Riefenstahl. Think of her as the Spielberg of Nazi cinema. "Triumph of the Will" = Oscar-worthy in propaganda terms.
