=Social and Cultural Life in the Nazi State=

When they came to power in 1933 the Nazi's sought to not only change the way Germany was run, but the whole nature of German culture and society. No aspect of the lives of German people was untouched during this time.

The German's wanted to achieve a //Volksgemeinschaft// - a community of people. This was to be a new, harmonious national community that was free from class and conflict (but importantly, did not include those groups who did not accord with Nazi ideology such as Jews). All racially pure Germans were to be equal and loyal to one leader. National interest was to come above self interest.

Before you start this unit of work - complete document studies 7.5 and 7.6 to better understand the notion of Volksgemeinshaft.

Next - in groups, you are to build a wiki page on one aspect of social & cultural life in Nazi Germany. Your site should incorporate key information from the text (including historian's views/ quotes where appropriate) and make use of images and/or links to film clips.
