School for Barbarians: Education Under the Nazis - Paperback
by Erika Mann (Author), Thomas Mann (Introduction by)
Published in 1938, when Nazi power was approaching its zenith, this well-documented indictment reveals the systematic brainwashing of Germany's youth. The Nazi program prepared for its future with a fanatical focus on national preeminence and warlike readiness that dominated every department and phase of education. Methods included alienating children from their parents, promoting notions of racial superiority instead of science, and developing a cult of personality centered on Hitler.
Erika Mann, a member of the World War II generation of German youth, observed firsthand the Third Reich's perversion of a once-proud school system and the systematic poisoning of family life. This edition of her historic expos features an Introduction by her father, famed author and Nobel laureate Thomas Mann.
The eldest daughter of author Thomas Mann, German actress and writer Erika Mann (1905-69) ran a Munich cabaret where she wrote and performed anti-Fascist material. Forced to flee her native country with the rise in Nazism during the 1930s, she turned to journalism and reported on the Spanish Civil War as well as World War II and the Nuremberg Trials.
