20. Jahrhundert: 1914-1945 | Nationalsozialismus
Volksgemeinschaft
"You are nothing. Your people is everything!" It is with slogans like this that the Nazi propaganda invokes the integration of Germans into the so-called Volksgemeinschaft, in which all social and societal differences are considered to be abolished. Every individual is supposed to rally behind the Führer Adolf Hitler in solidarity and willing to make sacrifices. The Volksgemeinschaft’s unity is staged at mass events, especially on festive and commemorative days such as May Day or the National Party Congress of the NSDAP. Excluded are all those who become targets of hostility and persecution because of the Nazis’ racial fanaticism – above all Jews and Sinti and Roma. Even the terminally ill and disabled are excluded and killed in the Nazis’ euthanasia programme.
