Hitler set out to purify German culture so Germany could become fully Aryan, the "master race" of the world. He gave Aryan women rewards for giving birth more children. Hitler also gave fiery speeches encouraging racism and the annihilation of Jews. Youth camps were created like "Hitler Youth" to prepare young children for war and to brainwash them with Nazi ideologies. Hitler had books burned by school children to destroy "dangerous ideas", or basically ideas that contradicted Nazi beliefs. School books were rewritten to portray Germany in a positive light and to show Nazi racial ideas.
These programs were effective because they succeeded by indoctrinating children with Nazi beliefs so when they grew up they would become enthusiastic supporters and soldiers for Hitler's regime. Without any opposition, Hitler could now fully implement his plans. He could successfully murder all Jews, and the Germans would think this was fine because they had been taught so from the time they had learned their ABC's. These brainwashed peoples would have no other sources of knowledge to pull their ideas from because Hitler convinced people to destroy them for the well-being of the "master race". Fair-skinned Germans would actually believe they had the right to destroy other nationalities because Aryans were "genetically superior". Hitler would have his dream because of these effective programs, unless the world came to their senses and united against him. Thank goodness we did.....
