With what was children's identity linked in Nazi education?

Correct answer: With the Nazi nation and Aryan community

Nazi education tried to shape children into loyal followers of the Nazi state. It taught them to place the nation, Hitler’s authority, and the supposed Aryan racial community above independent thinking and wider human equality. In this way, schooling and youth activities were used to build a political and racial identity that supported dictatorship and exclusion.

Option B is correct because children were encouraged to identify themselves with the Nazi nation and the Aryan community. World citizenship would emphasise humanity beyond national and racial divisions, which directly conflicts with Nazi ideology. Independent opposition was discouraged, and an international court was not the basis of the children’s identity. The question therefore tests the idea of identity formation through propaganda.
