The Office of Racial Policy was a department of the Nazi Party (NSDAP) that was founded for "unifying and supervising all indoctrination and propaganda work in the field of population and racial politics"[This quote needs a citation]. It began in 1933 as the NSDAP Office for Enlightenment on Population Policy and Racial Welfare (German: Aufklärungsamt für Bevölkerungspolitik und Rassenpflege). By 1935, it had been renamed NSDAP Office of Racial Policy (German: Rassenpolitisches Amt der NSDAP or RPA).[1]
