what is going on in this poster? where is it from? user:jennpratt __**Education**__ Education under the Nazi regime focused on "racial biology, population policy, [Nazi] culture, geography, and especially physical fitness". Anti-Semitic policy led to the expulsion of Jewish teachers and professors and officials from the education system. All university professors were also required to be a member of the National Socialist Association of University Lecturers. The participation of children and teenagers in government regulated youth groups was made compulsory. There, they received further instruction after school, the boys were taught combat training, amongst the many other skills they would need to serve their country at the frontlines, while the girls learned about homemaking and child-bearing. The Nazi regime discouraged women from seeking higher education in secondary schools, universities and colleges. “The number of women allowed to enroll in universities dropped drastically under the Nazi regime, which shrank from approximately 128,000…in 1933 to 51,000 in 1938”. However, due to the demand for soldiers during the war, women eventually “made up half of the enrollment in the education system by 1944”. who are you quoting here? user:jennpratt

**__Culture__** The regime sought to restore traditional values in German culture. The art and culture that flourished under the Weimar Republic was repressed. The visual arts became strictly monitored and maintained as “traditional, focusing on exemplifying [Nazi German] themes”, such as racial purity, militarism, heroism, power, strength, and obedience”. The abstract art and avant-garde art of the time was “removed from museums and was displayed as “degenerate art”, where it was to be ridiculed”. “Art forms considered to be degenerate included Dada, Cubism, Expressionism, Fauvism, Impressionism, New Objectivity, and Surrealism”. Also, “literature written by Jewish, other non-Aryans, or authors opposed to the Nazis was destroyed by the regime”, which was considered to be sources that would mislead the general public against the regime; the most “infamous destruction of literature was the book burnings by German students in 1933”.
