(UFRJ) We are a superior race and we must govern with hardness [...]. I'll rip out of this country everything I can. I did not come to spread bliss [...]. The population must always work [...]. We did not come to distribute the manna [advantages], we came to lay the foundations of victory. We are a master race that needs to remember that the humblest German worker is racially and biologically more valuable than the population here.

KOCH, Erich. Reich Commissioner in Ukraine, Mar. 1943. In:SHIRER, William L. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich . Rio de Janeiro:Brazilian Civilization, 1967, v. 4. Adapted.

The text allows us to identify some values ​​that permeated the German action in the Second World War (1939-1945). Identify two of these values ​​as components of Nazi ideology.

(PUC-Minas) The Nazi propaganda machine sought to sensitize the different segments of German society using the most different emotional appeals. Below are reproduced slogans used by the Nazis.

For man:“Arbeit macht frei” – It is work that makes you free.

For the woman:“Kinder, Küche, Kirche” – Children, kitchen, church.

The analysis and integration of these slogans in the ideological/doctrinal set of Nazism allow us to conclude, except :

a) The issue of work was intensively used, given that the German population had a fresh memory of unemployment.

b) Nazi ideology preached equality between the sexes, ensured through work, a leveling factor for all citizens.

c) The traditional values ​​of family, work and religion represented a very strong appeal, because who could oppose such healthy ideas?

d) The social locus of women was reinforced through the enhancement of functions considered eminently feminine.

Letter c. Joseph Goebbels was the main name in Nazi propaganda, having been appointed Minister of Propaganda during the Third Reich.

Letter a . The Nazi ideal fought internationalism, as it defended the conception of the German nation and race as being superior to other peoples.

The values ​​of Nazi ideology expressed in the text can be considered:the superiority of the German nation over other peoples, when the commissar says:“We are a superior race that needs to remember that the humblest German worker is, racially and biologically, more valuable than the population here”; and the military expansion and conquest of new territories by the Germans, subjugating the native populations to exploitation through violence, found in the following sentence:“I will wrest from this country everything I can. I did not come to spread bliss.”

Letter b . There was no preaching of equality between the sexes, but a differentiation of supposedly biological origin, determining women in a submissive position, fulfilling their domestic functions.
