  Abstract:   Aspects of Musical Life during Adolf Hitler’s Dictatorship – in the beginning of the 20th century the world witnessed the rise of some of the most prominent dictators and the development of some of the most destructive wars in history. One of the most illustrative examples of totalitarianism in the 20th century is the reign of Adolf Hitler, which had a significant impact on the musical life in Germany. In this research we present some of the most important aspects of the musical contexts during the Nazi regime and the attitudes of some of the most important composers of the time. The Nazi regime systematically purged all influences of Jewish and modern music, promoting only music that was ideologically accepted. To implement these decisions, the Nazi leaders decided to take control of the institutions that included music, from society’s core institution – the family – to music in churches and schools.
