Propaganda in Schools

One of the scariest things about propaganda, and possibly the whole entire Holocaust in general, is that propaganda was used in schools. The kids in the schools wouldn't know that it was propaganda, and they ended up unwittingly helping the Nazis. The propaganda worked really well in schools because if you learn something at a young age, it will stick with you for your whole life. The reason kids unwittingly helped the Nazis is because students were given “projects” that had the kids look through church records for names of Jewish families that had recently converted to Christianity. Those names that the kids drew were later used to select names for lists of Jews for deportation to concentration camps, ergo making kids unwitting accomplices of the Holocaust. People don't normally think of propaganda when they think of the Holocaust, but really it played one of the biggest roles in the entire Holocaust.
