The successful introduction of formalised anti-Judaic policies in mid-1930s Germany was one of the steps toward the extermination of European Jewry through the implementation of the Final Solution. The current paper seeks to examine the role of social institutions, particularly educational systems within the greater German community, as agents of Nazi policy or agents of resistance in the years leading up to the Final Solution. In particular, the paper will emphasise the first years of Nazi power and the rise of the Third Reich. Documentation will include a general investigation into the reaction of professional educators as the nationalist hegemony of the Party came to rule curriculum and educational environs across Germany.
