We found this about Friends interesting:

Muslims gave prayer rugs to Jewish friends. This protected them as Muslims werent as hated by Nazis. False birth certificates were made by Christian friends for Jews to protect them from Hitler. People who worked at Concentration camps were embarrassed and wouldnt talk to friends about their experience. Sometimes friends turned on Jews and joined in the burning of their synagogues. Friends turned in their neighbours for being communists/socialists etc. People gained false papers and married Christians to appear non-Jewish. A friend saw a girl he danced with being forced to undress and be shot. SOME FRIENDSHIPS WERE STONG ENOUGH TO LAST THROUGH NAZI GERMANY, HOWEVER SOME FRIENDS SUCCUMBED TO PRESSURE UNDER HITLER AND BROKE THEIR FRIENDSHIPS WITH THOSE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST IN ORDER TO SAVE THEMSELF.

If reports were made against the teachers then they could be arrested and re-educated History, biology and German language were essential tools in the Nazification of education. The importance of biology came from the special emphasis on race and heredity. Pupils were trained to measure their skulls and to classify each other's racial types. The Nazi state was obsessed with race and Hitler made the point time and time again that education's primary task was to instill a racial consciousness into every student. Mathematics focused on problems related to artillery trajectories, fighter-to-bomber ratios and budget deficits that came from helping hereditarily diseased families.
