description: "After 1933, the Nazis established a specific vocabulary in a large number of areas. Author Matthias Heine turns his attention to the term “Kulturschaffende,” a word that can be roughly translated as “culture creator” used for cultural professionals that has passed into common usage in German and explains its origins and background."
