National Socialist Cultural Policy

German and American scholars describe the official Nazi attitude to theatre, film, architecture, art, and literature, and how it was established through public campaigns vilifying the vibrant and diverse culture of the Weimar period. The eight essays also discuss intentionalism vs. functionalism, cultural eugenics and the purge of Jews, and the diaries of Joseph Goebbels as a source for cultural policies.
