    Art played a central role in Nazi propaganda, shaping public opinion through paintings, sculptures, and other mediums that were featured at rallies and in everyday items. Hitler disliked modern art and enjoyed pieces depicting Jews as ugly, while restricting artists to only produce works featuring heroic Aryans, families, or military figures approved by the Nazi party. Literature was also tightly controlled by banning books and changing school curriculums to restrict what the public was exposed to.
