CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE
The Nazi planned a long-term rule of the Third Reich. They wanted hardworking, obedient, healthy Aryan citizens for their empire. Just like Stalin, Hitler and the Nazi wanted people to follow them willingly, to absolutely believe Nazi propaganda. They wanted children to grow up believing in Nazi ideals and loving and obeying the Fuhrer. To ensure this, the Nazi tried to control children’s lives from the moment they were born. Mothers were told to bring children up with toys reflecting their future-soldier or mother. The toy soldiers boys played with wore uniform of the Germany army, navy, air force. Girls had toy tea sets, prams and dolls. Colouring books had pictures of Hitler playing with little children and rhymes that stressed how children should love the Fuhrer.
HOW DID NAZIS USE PROPAGANDA TO CONTROL PEOPLE?
The Nazis made careful use of propaganda in their rise to power. They kept things simple, repeating slogans such as ‘Work and Bread’. They used words like ‘we’ and ‘our’ to suggest they and German people were on the same side. As soon as they came to power, the Nazis set up a Ministry of Enlightenment and Propaganda, run by Joseph Goebbels. Nazis spread propaganda through mass rallies, censoring books, plays and all other media, radio, posters, newspapers, through Nazi organizations for adults and children and in schools and in workplace.
