Written Assignment



"With the assumption of power by the Nazis in 1933 all forms are not approved by the Nazi party were banned including expressionism, dadaism, and the new objectivity. Almost all forms of modern art were labelled Entartete Kunst(Degenerate Art) and were considered "un-German" or Jewish, in favor of what they considered "romantic realism" expressing so-called classical Germany values."

What this quote means to me is that, if a person was against the actions of Hitler and his army; they were considered the enemy. All the things that the Nazis did were consider to be correct and helpful to there society. The reason why the author would say such a thing is because he was aware of all the negative things that were happening in Germany at the time. I chose to write about this quote because it has a lot of meaning to it, the picture alone has a very powerful message. This picture shows several Nazi members confronting a business man, from the looks of it he was against the beliefs of Hitler; therefore they decided to speak with the gentleman. This quote made me think of all the challenges I faced when I was in the military, in my case it was the other way around.
