Famous German Nazi propogandist Joseph Goebbels focused on these essential elements:
- to promote the German nation as the supreme form of social and cultural organization
- to rid the nation of all Jewish influences
- to develop the Fuhrer principle - the notion of Hitler as the faultless leader to whom all Germans owed obedience
- to encourage pride in the Aryan race as the highest form of human development
- to develop German-Aryan arts free from the corruption of Jewish influences
"In laying such success on destroying Jewish influences, Goebbles was defining culture by what it was against, not what it was for. This was not a recipe for genuine cultural growth." - Michael Lynch
