Abstract
This book analyzes how the primary propaganda outlet of the Nazi party presented the History of Western art, literature, music, and thought according to the National Socialist worldview. It is a study of every major article the main newspaper of Hitler’s movement—The Völkischer Beobachter (Folkish Observer)—published about leading writers, composers, artists, and their works, including Germans like Luther, Dürer, Mozart, Schiller, Goethe, Beethoven, Schopenhauer, Wagner, and Nietzsche, non-Germans such as Socrates, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Byron, Rimbaud, Picasso, and Stravinsky, and minor figures they preferred over “enemies” such as Heinrich Heine and Thomas Mann. My extensive archival research demonstrates how Nazi Germany attempted to appropriate not only the Germany of “Poets and Thinkers,” but History of Western Humanities from Ancient Greece through the Second World War. Nazi leaders viewed their movement as the culmination of Western Civilization, and this book leads readers through their cultural self-justification. Indeed, it is the first comprehensive survey of the terms National Socialist propagandists used to discuss the great names of European culture.
