German youth of the 1930’s and 1940’s were heavily influenced by German culture and historic norms of German society. Adults in their roles as parents and teachers were the main influencers of children and their behavior at home and at school. They taught children about the greatness of Germany prior to World War I (WWI). Over time though, many parents and teachers began to use the same message as the Nazi party for fear that if they didn’t they would lose their jobs or be penalized in other ways. This assumption of the Nazi message by adults became part of friendships and peer pressure and influenced families and children by emphasizing the benefits of the Nazi party.…

Another example is that in the German textbooks for the fifth grade children made Jews look greedy, poisonous and in some of the pictures they made the Jews look like rats with long noses or poisonous mushrooms.…
