By _people_ we understand an entire living body which is
racially uniform and which is held together by common
history, common fate, a common mission, and common tasks.
Through such an interpretation the people takes on a
significance which is only attributed to it in times of
great historical importance and which makes it the center,
the content, and the goal of all human work. Only that race
still possesses vital energy which can still bring its unity
to expression in the totality of the people. The people is
the space in which race can develop its strength. Race is
the vital law of arrangement which gives the people its
distinctive form. In the course of time the people undergoes
historical transformations, but race prevents the loss of
the people's own nature in the course of these
transformations. Without the people the race has no life;
without race the people has no permanence ... Education,
from the standpoint of race and people, is the creation of a
form of life in which the racial unity will be preserved
through the totality of the people.[29]

Beck describes the politically spiritual National Socialist
personality which National Socialist education seeks to develop, in
the following terms:

Socialism is the direction of personal life through
dependence on the community, consciousness of the community,
feeling for the community, and action in the community;
nationalism is the elevation of individual life to a unique
(microcosmic) expression of the community in the unity of
the personality.[30]
