  In 1940, the Adolf-Hitler-School presses in Kempten printed a history-textbook written by the well-known archaeologist and AHS-Erzieher Otto-Wilhelm von Vacano, entitled Sparta: Der Lebenskampf einer nordischen Herrenschicht (‘Sparta: The Life-Struggle of an Aryan Master-Race’). The work was endorsed by the schools’ Chief Inspector, Kurt Petter, with the aim that Sparta should provide a paradigm for pupils, helping them to build the Führer’s ‘Thousand-Year Reich’ by historical example; Sparta’s failures were to be avoided, and her successes emulated.

Introduction

The following is an online version of an exhibition on display at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris from 25 January 2016 to 28 February 2016. This exhibition was chosen in accordance with the theme of the 2016 International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust, (observed 27 January): “From Words to Genocide: Antisemitic Propaganda and the Holocaust.”

At the time when this collection was first begun, Wiener and several colleagues were based at the Jewish Central Information Office in Amsterdam, working to counter Nazi propaganda and to raise global awareness of th
