Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the role, position, and function of the Organization of StrengthThrough Joy (Kraft durch Freude- KdF), which was established in 1933, in Nazi Germany. In thecontext of the projection on the social and economic structure of the aims of totalitarian regimes tointervene in social life without leaving any gap, in Nazi Germany, KdF organized events that affectedmany points of social life, especially holiday organizations, and strengthened the Nazi regime untilthe year it ended its actions, taking the principles and goals of national socialism at the center ofthese activities. At this point, the KdF first played a major role in increasing the trust and loyaltyregarding the Hitler government. Second, it constituted one of the transporter and application areasof the eugenics politics at the point of Nazism's project of creating a pure race. Finally, it contributedto the establishment of socio-economic and socio-cultural harmony between German society inaccordance with the ideological structure of Nazism, and to the cultural production based on thisharmony.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, 1933 yılında kurulan “Neşe Yoluyla Güç Örgütü (Kraft Durch FreudeKdF)”nün Nazi Almanya’sındaki rolü, konumu ve işlevi incelenmesidir. Totaliter rejimlerin hiçbir boşluk bırakmaksızın toplum hayatına müdahale etme amaçlarının sosyal ve ekonomik yapıdaki izdüşümü bağlamında Nazi Almanya’sında da KdF, faaliyetlerini sona erdirdiği yıla kadar başta tatil organizasyonları olmak üzere sosyal hayatın pek çok noktasına temas eden ve Nazi rejimini tahkim edici etkinlikler düzenlemiş, bu etkinliklerin merkezine ise nasyonal sosyalizmin ilke ve hedeflerini almıştır. Bu noktada KdF birinci olarak Hitler iktidarına ilişkin güven ve sadakatin arttırılmasında büyük rol oynamıştır. İkinci olarak Nazizm’in arî ırk yaratma projesi noktasında öjenik siyasetinin taşıcısı ve uygulama alanlarından bir tanesini teşkil etmiştir. Son olarak Nazizm’in ideolojik yapısına uygun olarak Alman toplumu arasında sosyo-ekonomik ve sosyo-kültürel uyumun tesis edilmesine, bu uyum esasında kültürel üretilmesine sağlanmasına katkı sağlamıştır.
