German Social Policy Before 1933 

2 electronic resources (6, 2 pages) 

The file contains four typewritten pages with newspaper excerpts on German Social Policy before and after 1933. The document contrasts national socialist propaganda about Social Policy with excerpts taken from various non-Nazi journals published before 1933 on the same topic, in order to reveal the Nazi propaganda strategies. The excerpts focus on various fields of Social Policy that were especially used by Nazi propaganda: the role of Winter Help (“Winterhilfswerk”), the housing policies (“Wohnungsbau”), the workers’ cultural education (“Kulturelle Betreuung der Arbeiter”), and the Labor service (“Arbeitsdienst”).
