Schools under National Socialism
The exhibit "Bremen Childhood and Adolescence under National Socialism" documents the life stages the Nazis had planned for children and adolescence as well as what methods and strategies were used to indoctrinate young people. The exhibit shows the way the Nazis managed to manipulate pupils for their purposes. An underground bunker from 1941 can also be visited, with the exhibit about the Luftkrieg which can be viewed by flashlight.

In a school building from 1904, visitors of all ages can experience Bremen’s school history first-hand. Numerous museum education programmes invite you to experience the typical day of a pupil in, for example, the era of Kaiser Wilhelm.
