The whole cultural apparatus of the Third Reich was geared towards promulgating and reinforcing a doctrine of innate racial superiority pertaining to a mythical “Aryan” people. This was achieved in a multitude of ways that permeated every aspect of people’s daily lives — school, play, work, media and advertising, even the design of public spaces. The ultimate goal of the Nazi party was complete symbolic domination of public and private discourse, which was to be turned, to the greatest extent possible, towards furthering the interests of the party. In this goal they succeeded to a remarkable extent, not least because of their aggressive use of propaganda, unprecedented levels of media control, and strong connections with industry.

At the heart of this racial mythos were two complementary drives. One was positive reinforcement, dedicated to promoting notions of Aryan purity, wholesomeness, strength, and predestination as the supremely victorious people of the earth. This vision of Aryan perfection was intimately bound up with the mechanisms and ethos of Hiter’s totalitarian stat

Because Trawny was from Germany, no one knew what he would be like in person—an incomprehensible hermeneutist? A cool judge of history? He turned out to be a tall, disarming man of fifty who sounded less like a judge than a disappointed lover. In a soft German accent, he explained what it had been like to read the notebooks for the first time. “Of course, you have passages about Hölderlin, about Nietzsche, about Bolshevism,” he said—the usual Heideggerian subjects. “But then, suddenly, a passage about the Jews.… You think, Okay, whatever.… And then suddenly you have the second, and you have the third, and you have the fourth, and you have the sixth, and you think, What the hell! Why is he doing this?” As a lifelong Heideggerian, reading and publishing these passages had been “very painful,” Trawny said; it had also introduced all sorts of practical complications into his life. “I’m the director of the Martin Heidegger Institute, and I actually want to be that for a longer time,” he said, to laughter from the audience. (“You cannot be the director of the Adolf Hitler Institute,” a

What was the Nazi Party?

The National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) was an extreme right wing German political party founded in 1920 after Germany’s defeat in World War I. It was led by Adolf Hitler from 1921 to 1945.

The party promised that it would defend German cultural values against Jewish-cosmopolitan influences, rescind the harsh provisions of the Treaty of Versailles which demilitarized and imposed huge economic burdens on Germany after World War I, protect Germany against the perceived threat of Communism, and restore Germany to its pre-World War I greatness in the international arena.

After the onset of the Great Depression in 1929-1930, the Nazi Party rose from 2.6 percent in the 1928 German parliamentary elections to becoming the second largest political party in the country following the September 1930 elections with 18.3 percent of the vote. In the July 1932 elections it was the largest party with 37.3 percent of the vote.

After Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany in January 1933, the Nazi Party became the dominant, and soon the only, political pa
