The Nazis burned books and banned much modern art. However, few
people know the fascinating story of German modern dance, which was
the great exception. Modern expressive dance found favor with the
regime and especially with the infamous Dr. Joseph Goebbels, the
Minister of Propaganda. How modern artists collaborated with Nazism
reveals an important aspect of modernism, uncovers the bizarre
bureaucracy which controlled culture and tells the histories of
great figures who became enthusiastic Nazis and lied about it
later. The book offers three perspectives: the dancer Lilian Karina
writes her very vivid personal story of dancing in interwar
Germany; the dance historian Marion Kant gives a systematic account
of the interaction of modern dance and the totalitarian state, and
a documentary appendix provides a glimpse into the twisted reality
created by Nazi racism, pedantic bureaucrats and artistic ambition.
