| Summary: | One of the more egregious and sinister undertakings of the Nazi Party during the 1920s and 1930s was the attempt to produce a supposedly “scientific” basis for their virulent antipathy towards the Jews. Although Adolf Hitler had endorsed the Catholic Church's centuries-old anti-Judaism, a large group of radical German ideologues believed that a more secular and scholarly foundation was required. After 1918, they believed, the churches had lost credibility, and an ever-increasing number of Germans supposedly no longer felt any attachment to what had come to be regarded as an outdated and pre-modern system of beliefs. The Nazi Party radicals therefore promoted the idea that a more “rational” and religion-free set of values based on race should be fostered. |
