Hitler's ideas concerning music and art shaped the cultural atmosphere and political policies for all of Germany. He decried the "degenerate" influence on German culture and stated his repugnance repeatedly. Any artist who did not fit into the ideal of Volk was not to be included. Volk was a key component to Hitler's ideal of Germany. It recalled a simple, pastoral life, meaning "folk and folkdom." True art as defined by Hitler was linked with the country life, with health, and with the Aryan race.

In 1933, three months after being appointed chancellor of Germany, Hitler issued the Law for the Cleansing of the Civil Service, declaring that any employee who was not of Aryan blood was to be fired. He also established the Reichskammern (Reich Chambers, or government departments) with Joseph Goebbels as minister. Artists and musicians who did not or could not become members were forbidden to work in their profession. Professors and art teachers who were Jewish or suspected sympathizers were dismissed from their posts. Many of those who did not flee the country were sent to ghettos and concentration camps. The Bauhaus, an internationally renowned architectural school, was closed.

A Teacher's Guide to the Holocaust
The Timeline section focuses on the history of the Holocaust, chronicling the years from 1918 to the present. Hitler's rise to power was the initiation of a period that wrought great fear and destruction. Millions were forced to live in ghettos, only to be deported later to the concentration camps. The tragic details remained obscure until the liberation of the death camps and the further revelations during the Nuremberg War Trials. The subsections below offer a simplified outline for thinking about how the Holocaust unfolded. However, it should be kept in mind that many of the categories overlap. more info
