| Abstract: | Based on examples of socialist heroes from East German schoolbooks and teaching guides designed for elementary school, this
essay examines the role of state ideology in primary education. It assesses the German curriculum of the now-defunct German
Democratic Republic (GDR) and illuminates distinctions between civic education and political propaganda. It also shows how
the curricular emphasis on socialist virtue helped to form “the socialist personality.”
