Nazi Writer's Union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nazi Writer's Union (German: Der Reichsverband deutscher Schriftsteller) was founded in 1933 by the Nazi government of the Third Reich in the process of 'germanizing' cultural institutions and purging it of foreign influences. This process was necessitated by the Reichskulturkammergesetz (National Cultural Chamber Act) of 9 September 1933.
It encompassed writers of all literary genres, and was part of a larger literary hierarchy, the Reichsschrifttumkammer(Reich Writers Chamber), founded the same year. The Reich Writers Chamber was one of seven components of the Reich Cultural Chamber.
