=**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Individual Assignment #3 **=
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-weight: normal;"> There are multiple ways youth were indoctrinated into Nazism. One way was through education. The Nazis used schools to teach the practices of the Nazi system and Nazism, which was based on German racial superiority. All teachers had to be inspected by local Nazi officials. Any teacher that was considered disloyal was removed from the school and sometimes sent to a month long training courses that instructed how to teach the new Nazi curriculum. All Jewish teachers lost their jobs and female teachers were encouraged to return home and take up duties as a wife and mother because this was the part of the Nazi ideology. Many youths were also indoctrinated into Nazism through the work force. Many young people worked for companies supporting Nazism and their fight in the war. German boys were also required to attend the Hitler Youth, which included things such as exciting activities and war games. German girls went to the BDM (Bund Deutscher Mädel) and were taught how to be good mothers and to love Hitler.

All of these programs fit into Hitler's plan for a perfect world because many people were being exposed to his ideas of how things should be throughout the entire day. At school, at jobs, and other organizations people were told the practices of Hitler. Both young girls and boys were taught Hitler's ways from an early age. They were told to love Hitler, how to act, and what to do. AND BECAUSE THIS WAS DONE AT ANY EARLY AGE, CHILDREN ACTED OUT OF OBEDIENCE. AS THEY BECAME OLDER, THEY WERE SO BRAINWASHED THAT THIS TYPE OF LIVING WAS ALL THEY KNEW **
