Abstract:
In 1931-36 Berlin's Staatliche Akademische Hochschule für Musik underwent a Nazi-style "restructuring". This was accomplished by its new director, Fritz Stein, and under the control of the Kampfbund für Deutsche Kultur, a pro-Nazi body established in 1928. The "restructuring" entailed the dismissal of many instructors (some of them on racial grounds), the expulsion of Jewish students, and the disclosure and dismissal of "half-Jews". In January 1936 all the staff of the Academy took an oath of loyalty to Hitler and to keep German arts pure, which completed the transformation of the Academy into the "Peoples' Community".
