Great video. Taking something existing and affixing a new unintended meaning to it is a double edge sword, on the one hand you end up with Grimm's Faerie Tales being used to instill Nationalist beliefs into the citizenry, and on the other you get DuChamp's Fountain. Looking forward to the next one, and props to Dakota for the thumbnail.
Wonderful video, who would have thought that something that looks so innocent like the Disney classics would have such a grim origin. PS.: Hope you come back to do videos soon they are very entertaining and informative...
A very insightful analyses of the influence of their literature and the (perhaps unintended) role it played in the rise of Nazism in Germany. It certainly does make you think! And as a literature teacher, that's what I'd like my students do as well.😉
Do you know about Katja Hoyer's book she just published about Germany from 1871 to 1918? I bet you would have some good insight about what she has written...
l, Hi, thanks for the thought provoking video! I am just writing a seminar paper, on the relationship between the Brothers Grimm as romantic writers, and anti-Semitism. Do you have any studies to refer me to? What you quoted is very old from 1951... Many thanks in advance!
8:15 Because of that, German soldiers are by law allowed to disobey orders that defy against the constitution. As far as I know, the US doesn’t have that mechanism.
Steamboat Willie!! Amazing job on that model AND this video. I had NO IDEA about the connections between the rise of Nazi ideology and the fairytales revered in Germany. Just one more example of how powerful "fairy stories" (and popular literature) can be 😬 In this example....not a good thing. Brilliant, incredible 👏👏👏
I grew up pennslyvania dutch and I'm just starting to look into it. thank you for this vid, any white person wanting to reconnect with our ancestors and their culture should first make sure we aren't going into it uninformed
TH-cam is becoming more communist. You cannot have differing ideas about them. Or there party. It goes beyond political positions and I literally can’t mention any names that could be Semitic. Or my comment gets taken down. Almost instantly.
"how the German people viewed their king" - this was not unique to the Germans. Monarchs in general were typically viewed through rose colored glasses, at least in retrospect, as idealized figures throughout Europe, and possibly in other lands as well. If this explains the Fuehrerprinzip, then why did the same phenomenon not arise in England, France, Russia, and other European countries? And since the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia was a Jewish led movement, are you next going to explain its hideous tortures and mass murders and obsession with an unprecedented degree of centralized control and indoctrination as the natural results of characteristics embedded in Jewish culture and tradition? I don't see how you can explain it any other way if you are going to go down this culturally determinist path. If elements of German culture explain the policies of German national socialism, then elements of Jewish culture must explain the policies of the Bolsheviks whose actions against their perceived class enemies had a reputation during the period of Jewish dominance of the Communist Party for being peculiarly cruel and fiendish if not criminally demented in many cases.
Hey can I ask you. Are you deleting my comments? Or.. is TH-cam deleting them? Just a question. I hold no I’ll will here. Just tell me this one thing. As this happens quite often even if I don’t mention hot topics.
"Antisemitism" was not invented until the latter part of the 19th century, so it is anachronistic for you to refer to something that did not yet exist in those earlier centuries. You should be referring to Anti-Judaism, since their opposition to Jews back then was theologically based, not racially based as became the case after secularized Jews continued to maintain a separate identity that was not based on religious observance.
Thank you for the lecture about antisemitism. OMG! OMG! ANTISEMETISM!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!!!!!
This helped me with a presentation I had to give in German! Thank you for such a a detailed account as well as including your sources!
Damn this video is really well research and made. Thank you! I hope you will make more and earn some recognition.
Appreciate your work. Wish you had more than 12 videos. If you're considering making more, please, dont second guess yourself!
Glad I discovered your page today. Very insightful. Can't wait to watch more of your videos.

Ahh. Guess that answers my question.
We wouldn’t let our enemies have guns. Why would we let them have ideas-Stalin
Lol what?

I don’t delete comments, no.
@@bookritique5423 wow!!! I just dropped five comments with extensive research and background. Along with sources. And all of them self destructed .
@@MrZReacts88 I’m sorry to hear that. Hope you get this technical issue worked out.
@@bookritique5423 no it’s TH-cams algorithm I’m dropping hot words and it’s deleting my comments.
Well my comment seems to stand just fine on other videos. .. 😑 have fun in your Pursuit of “Truth”
Nice butchering Hausmärchen there LOL

antisemitism, or conciousness of semitic networking or influence?
Remembering that Christianity is semetic as well ;)
