Which of the following was banned by the Nazis in their control of culture?

The Nazis banned jazz music as part of their wider agenda of cultural control and purification. They viewed jazz as a genre that embodied influences they deemed negative, associating it with African American culture and perceived degeneracy. The regime promoted a vision of German culture that was Aryan and traditional, rejecting modern artistic forms that did not align with their ideology.

In contrast, classical music was often embraced, particularly works by composers like Wagner, who aligned with Nazi ideals. Theater performances were strictly regulated, but not outright banned, and were often adapted to reflect Nazi themes. Literary works were censored heavily, with many authors banned, but not all literary works were automatically prohibited. The targeted ban on jazz music exemplifies the Nazis' intention to mold cultural expression according to their racial and ideological preferences.
