Beskrivning

The Nazis burned books and banned much modern art. Modern expressive dance, however, found favour with the regime and especially with Dr Joseph Goebbels, the Minister of Propaganda. The way in which modern artists collaborated with Nazism reveals an important aspect of modernism, uncovers the bizarre bureaucracy which controlled Nazi culture and tells the histories of great figures who became enthusiastic Nazis and lied about it later.
