Culture in Nazi Germany: Jazz In The Culture Of Nazi Germany

Synopsis

&“A much-needed study of the aesthetics and cultural mores of the Third Reich . . . rich in detail and documentation.&” (Kirkus Reviews) Culture was integral to the smooth running of the Third Reich. In the years preceding WWII, a wide variety of artistic forms were used to instill a Nazi ideology in the German people and to manipulate the public perception of Hitler&’s enemies. During the war, the arts were closely tied to the propaganda machine that promoted the cause of Germany&’s military campaigns. Michael H. Kater&’s engaging and deeply researched account of artistic culture within Nazi Germany considers how the German arts-and-letters scene was transformed when the Nazis came to power. With a broad purview that ranges widely across music, literature, film, theater, the press, and visual arts, Kater details the struggle between creative autonomy and political control as he looks at what became of German artists and their work both during and subsequent to Nazi rule. &“Absorbing, chilling study of German artistic life under Hitler&” —The Sunday Times &“There is no greater authority on the culture of the Nazi period than Michael Kater, and his latest, most ambitious work gives a comprehensive overview of a dismally complex history, astonishing in its breadth of knowledge and acute in its critical perceptions.&” —Alex Ross, music critic at The New Yorker and author of The Rest is Noise Listed on Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles List for 2019 Winner of the Jewish Literary Award in Scholarship
