Youth played quite a significant role in Germany from 1933 to 1945.Youth were important to Hitler and Germany as a whole. The reasons for believing this are as follows. The youth in 1933-45 were the next generation of Nazis even after the end of World War II. German school were training the children to be German nationalists like Hitler.

Nazi Germany started teaching the children to become nationalists when in 1933 Hitler outlawed all schools but his, the Hitler Youth and the League of German Girls. Children were also constantly encourage to support Hitler however possible. Teachers would ask children if they had heard or seen anyone that was talking bad about Hitler or the Nazis. If a teacher proved to be disloyal that teacher would be fired. An instance of this is from a man named Tomi Ungerer who was apart of the Hitler youth, “His teachers encouraged his students to inform on his parents. ‘We were promised a reward of money if we denounced our parents or our neighbours - what they said or did...

Children would get school books teaching them why to hate jewish people. One of these schoolbooks was name “How Jews Torment Animals” it says in the book “The animal fell once more to the ground. Slowly it died. The Jews stood around and laughed.” The book was meant to make the children empathize with the animal and feel sympathy for it and blame the Jews for its death.

The books says “Just as it is often hard to tell a toadstool from an edible mushroom, so too it is often very hard to recognize the Jew as a swindler and criminal...” implying that there is no difference between a Jew and a criminal. There is plenty more of these German propaganda books against Jews. Spartacus-educational.com says “In his autobiography, A Childhood under the Nazis (1998), Tomi Ungerer commented that one of the textbooks that he was forced to use was the anti-Semitic book, The Jewish Question in Education, which contained guidelines for the "identification" of Jews . Written by Fritz Fink, with an introduction by Julius Streicher it included passages such as the ‘Jews have different noses, ears, lips, chins and different faces than Germans" and "they walk differently, have flat feet... their arms are longer and they speak differently.’”Nazi’s were glorified when children were taught how the Nazis came to power but when they
