Anti-Semitic propaganda had a life-long effect on German children schooled during the Nazi period, leaving them far more likely to harbor negative views of Jews than those born earlier and later, according to a study published Monday.
The findings indicate that attempts to influence public attitudes are most effective when they target young people, particularly if the message confirms existing beliefs, the authors said.
Researchers from the United States and Switzerland examined surveys conducted in 1996 and 2006 that asked respondents about a range of issues, including their opinions of Jews. The polls, known as the German General Social Survey, reflected the views of 5,300 people from 264 towns and cities across Germany, allowing the researchers to examine differences according to age, gender and location.
By focusing on those respondents who expressed consistently negative views of Jews in a number of questions, the researchers found that those born in the 1930s held the most extreme anti-Semitic opinions—even fifty years after the end of Nazi rule. …

If they harbored this anti semitism, wouldn’t they have expressed it to their kids and so forth?
Perhaps not, I guess.
The AP writes, “To all our loyal followers, Die Fuhrer’s methods are alive and well, and we’ve now confirmed indoctrination works when administered to the ‘youth’. Continue on with your work. Double plus good!”
I would strongly suggest that this ‘feeling’.....if it does exist.....goes way past the 1930s....and back into the 1800s as a minimum.
It’s like discussing religion in Amsterdam. There’s a harsh reality that the Dutch bring to the table after thousands died in the little civil war over religion issues of the 1500s and 1600s.
There were two somewhat successful writers of the 1800s who featured anti-Jewish discussions in their texts and wove the fabric for the Nazi Party to gather support. The Nazis simply took what existed and built onto it.
“The findings indicate that attempts to influence public attitudes are most effective when they target young people, particularly if the message confirms existing beliefs, the authors said.”
Well, yes, the younger the “plastic mind” the easier it is to actually FLIP the Worldview of children—and make them even hate their parents and their parents’ worldview.
They lose me here-— “confirming EXISTING beliefs”. The agitprop and brainwashing is so strong in our culture and with TV and public schools now that it won’t matter what “existing” beliefs are.
Why-—because children can NOT be critical thinkers EVER if they are not given the tools to be critical thinkers. Without Classical Education and without living with their Natural Family they will never have the Worldview of our Founders. They have to learn and habituate self-initiative by interactions with mature adults (not puerile peers) which creates individualism (thinking outside the box) and they have to model mature behaviors and learn about the Real World-—not sit trapped in an artificial place habituating dependence and being emasculated. Not being able to choose your interests and do what you love to do....trapped for years being infantilized-—and treated like babies for 8 years, having no Real Life growth and maturity which is from actions which are self-initiated.
The German Culture with the Prussia group think factories were/are able to FLIP worldview in children 100 % of the time.
The Culture and universities are even able to flip worldview-—because of the poor system of “education” which has existed since the 1950s.
The elites have dumbed down the curricula and made children hate to read and learn real Wisdom——that when truth is heard (which conflicts with EVERYTHING that has been pumped into their skulls) it makes them “feel” so uncomfortable it creates Cognitive Dissonance ( immaturity, so it is impossible for them to use Reason and Logic and be emotionally healthy-—they literally cannot mature and become moral Rational adults.....only ideologues and utopians (completely irrational where boys are girls and whites are blacks and Vice is Virtue and Slavery is Freedom.) They are “happy slaves” for the State and thrilled with any Marxist system—like obamacare, Common Core, etc-—they are SOOOO dumb.
it is Fichte’s Dream——and the Prussian system which will destroy Free Will in children and make them so irrational they will actually believe “snow is black” (1810).......the Progressive/Marxists took over the universities in the 30s and all curricula in schools by the 60s. Sex Ed went into schools in the 70s hard core and we are reaping the results of the easiest and fastest way to corrupt children and collapse culture.
Only Christianity is Reasoned-—all other religions like Satanism, islam, Hinduism, Atheism, Lucifereanism, Earth Worship——is totally irrational and based on vice and using human beings as a Means to an End (unconstitutional). Christianity is based on Natural Laws and God’s Laws-—which is the basis of our Justice System.
Great,....we have to anticipate some 50 years from now, future generations will be cursed with an anti-Christian remnant seeded by this Administration and the Clintons, if this poll is indicative of future political thinking.
They used neuro science, what they call brain training, today. Now they use video games and technology to accomplish the same thing. Neuro science was actually dreamed up by the Nazis.
IMHO, Israel will always remain on the Satanic target list due to OT unconditional covenants made between God and Israel. Anti-semitism is one natural consequence.
I’m pretty sure it left life-long mark on Jewish kids, too.
There will still be this kind of society fifty years from now if Iran gets the bomb soon?
It goes back to Adam and Eve and human nature. People are herd animals and they naturally like people like themselves and their families and they have to be ethnocentric if their culture is to survive.
That is why Marxists hate biological connections. It creates ties and families and loyalties-——comfort with certain people of familiarity.
What Marxism is and does is create hate between groups....and that hate has existed since the Fall of Man-—and with the Age of Reason and the USA-—never has their been more diversity and more freedom in the history of man. That diversity and “Love for the Other” is at the heart of Christian Worldview. Christians got rid of pederasty, homosexuality, polygamy, slavery—all common practices until paganism was overthrown by Christian Worldview. (It took a millennia). But for NWO—the Power and total control of the World-—there has to be only Fear among groups and no unity. Hate in families so children are emotional wrecks also make it easy to take over a nation.
This whole “hate” others is forced in schools today-— and true diversity (male/female) has been particularly targeted, because the Marxists knew that to collapse Western Civilization they had to destroy Christianity and the Natural Family.
That is happening-—Theodore Dalrymple has written widely about this destruction (which is intentional)-—written into Law (no fault/special rights for groups, multiculturalism, Sex Ed) all to group and point out differences to create hate, since immature children are not capable of true love of differences until maturity and critical thinking skills.
The Just Laws promote public virtue and unity-—or they promote hate (vice) and OURS has been promoting vice and hate for 80 years.....not much different than the Weimar Republic, and their Prussian system of “education” (like ours) which created the non-thinking (programmed) Hitler Youth who knew nothing of the Wisdom of the Ages (Classical Education). They were filled with Lies and misinformation and hate.
I knew someone that was in the Hitler youth corps as a small child. He told me once he still thinks of the camps as fun and just a little political.
Makes you wonder what children attending public school will be like in 30 yrs.
Goebbels propaganda machine was very effective in bending minds and hearts..
I think a lot of young people, especially the ones educated in the last 30 years do not understand Germany spend decades demonizing, vilifying and targeting Jews...
The "final Solution" just didn't pop up as a anomaly...
It's not surprising culturally there's a anti-semitism streak in the German people even after 60 years since their defeat and the shame of the holocaust...
Antisemitism is very high in Germany right now. So, you are correct.
That's funny. Entertainment industry propaganda has left life-long marks on American Kids.
Nowadays far too many of them think "Gay" is normal, instead of sick and disgusting.
