Abstract:
Analyzes the place of the concept of violence in Nazi ideology. Violent power was an essential element in the regime, but the Nazis hoped to dismiss the need for it by means of calm indoctrination. However, violence was used against the Jews. Discusses and quotes from a lecture delivered by Ernst Krieck in 1938 (Krieck was a Nazi ideologue who was regarded as a guide for intellectuals, teachers, and SS officers) in which he presents the type of intellectual life acceptable to Nazism. It is based on the general will of the nation, and attacks Jewish and liberal German intellectuals who laud the value of individual life vs. the value of the collective Aryan race.
