Germany cradle for Nordic race This school atlas marks a supplanting of the Nazi ideology of 'thinking with the blood' with 'Bildung' (humanist education). In the top right, the atlas outlines the paths through which urban culture ‘invaded’ northern Europe from the Middle East, via Greece and Rome. This map stands in contrast to the 'new vision' of history, which depicts Germany as the 'prehistoric heart of Europe' and a 'cradle for peasant peoples of the Nordic race'.
