An Anti-Semitic Piece Of Propaganda From The Nazi Regime

Hitler and the Nazis used propaganda to suppress the Jews’ freedoms and human rights. Films portrayed Germans as powerful and mighty while showing the Jews to be “subhuman creatures” (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum 1). German newspapers portrayed Jews in their cartoons as anti semitic caricatures while radios played Hitler’s manipulative speeches all over Germany. By dehumanizing Jewish people through propaganda, Hitler was able to encourage Germans to support the Nazis and look down on the Jews. Without propaganda, less people would have been motivated to support Hitler.

Propaganda and media have always been very important in convincing the public to agree with their government. Leaders have usually used propaganda and media in common everyday matters, not just politics. In today's age it is easier to find out if information is true or not because of all the technology (which also leaves more room for more false reports.) Today we have Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat; the media list available to the public is almost infinite. It has not always been like that though; people have not always had smart phones and the internet to get information about what is happening in their country. Back in the 1940's while World War 2 was raging, people had newspapers, radios, and faith. Naturally

“All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach,” Adolf Hitler (The National World War Museum). The German Nazi dictator utilized his power over the people using propaganda, eventually creating a sense of hatred towards Jews. After World War 1, the punishments of the League of Nations caused Germany to suffer. The Nazi party came to blame the Jews in order to have a nation-wide “scapegoat”. This hatred and prejudice towards Jews is known as anti-semitism. According to the Breman Museum, “the Nazi Party was one of the first political movements to take full advantage of mass communications technologies: radio, recorded sound, film, and the printed

The primary source “German Economic Goals and the Jewish question (August 1936)” by Adolf Hitler describes antisemitism was central to Hitler’s political vision and strategy. The Reichstag passed laws such as making the Jewish people liable for all damage inflicted by individual specimens of this community of criminals upon the German economy, and thus upon the German people. Hitler figured if he destroyed the Jewish people that the world he envisioned would be born. Therefore, he staged the holocaust to eliminate the Jews from German culture. The factors that contributed towards the Nazi hatred of the Jews includes the ideas of ‘Positive Christianity’ supported by Nazi Movement. Additionally, racial and political factors were significant in their relations to anti-Semitism during World War I, which singled out the Jews as a threat to the established order of society in German. These factors made the Jews a target for persecution and ultimate destruction by the Nazis.

During World War 2 a huge Propaganda was established.” A major tool of the Nazis’ propaganda assault was the weekly Nazi newspaper Der Sturmer (The Attacker). At the bottom of the front page of each issue, in bold letters, the paper proclaimed, “The Jews are our misfortune!”(N.p., n.d. Web/). The idea of labeling Jewish people as their “misfortune” is completely absurd. Nazis labeled Jewish people as their “bad luck” which left people very inquisitive about everything going on. The ideas of this Propaganda revolved around Hitler and how he shared his beliefs with everyone and everyone followed under his

Imagine yourself as a child at home, taking a peaceful nap after having a hectic day at school. All of a sudden, you hear your parents come home knocking on your door shouting at you, to go and wash the dishes. Automatically you get up to do as you 're told because you know what the consequences would be if you do not listen to your parents; who are leaders. Since you are influenced by your parents you would try to emulate them, believing what they say is the right thing to do; however, you might try to do more just to impress them because you want to be acknowledged and rewarded by them for doing extra work without being told to. This is what took place in Germany during the Holocaust; the Nazi SS soldiers tried to impress Hitler by causing the genocide of the Jewish race. These soldiers played the role of perpetrators during the Holocaust. Furthermore, the Nazis SS soldiers would treat the Jews like they were less than humans in Germany. They also tortured and killed many innocent Jewish individuals who were either in the concentration camps or others who were rebelling against the Nazis. Additionally, the Jewish people were showed no type of compassion whatsoever while under the authority of the Germans. Therefore, the Nazi SS soldiers were the cause of the mass destruction during the Holocaust because they attempted to obliterate an entire race that they considered inferior to their superiority; while Adolf Hitler was trying to make Germany into a stronger and more

Through propaganda, the Nazis’ ideals are spread effectively to the people so that they have the support as a complete country, accomplishing the first step in their plans. For the Germans, “propaganda [is] the tool by which nearly every facet of German life [dictates]” (Kinser???). Propaganda has become a stepping stone for what the Germans has to offer, even more to anti-semitism. Similarly, the ideologies of German are anti-semitic so they use that to their advantage, combining it with propaganda even though most images are false. The Germans blames the Jews for all their errors and has become the scapegoats for Hitler. All the posters about Jews by the Germans, “[has] little to no truth behind them, but [are] rather elaborate myths [that are created] to single out a group of people that [are] seen as a threat” (Kinser?). This prompts to unity amongst the people with the same perspective toward a single race.

The use of propaganda that the Nazis made to go against the Jews negatively affected them because most bystanders believed in the propaganda which made the Jews seem “not human” to other people. This further allowed the Nazis to dehumanize the Jews in a way where the Jews had absolutely no freedom.

Propaganda is misrepresentative information presented to impose bias ideals upon its viewers. The propaganda organized by the Nazi party was integral in their rise to power and dependent on reinforcing the narrative among Aryan Germans that all other races were inferior. Presented through a variety of mediums including texts, films, and images, the demonizing of Jews and portrayal of Hitler as a god-like figure in Nazi propaganda furthered the false reasoning behind the subjection of Jews to the many merciless horrors the holocaust consisted of.

The holocaust was a movement led by the then leader of the Nazi Party, Adolf Hitler. Hitler blamed all Jews for the German loss in WW1, and when he came into power he made sure he would leave his mark. The holocaust was the systematic mass killing of over 6 million Jewish people, along with many other minorities such as people of other ethnicities, gays, gypsies

     The Nazis utilized propaganda to spread the Nazi ideology, philosophy, and mentality into the German population. The hope of the Nazis was the ideas and mentality expressed were going to be part of the Germans everyday regime, and their everyday lives. The thought of the evil Jews was to consume the Germans minds, bodies, and their souls. The thought of other enemies was not to be permitted; the Jews were the only enemy. They were to be the “enemy of the common people.”

This article, “Nazi Propaganda”, from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Holocaust Encyclopedia, has proved to be a very helpful resource. It is a very current page - it was updated in June of 2014. I found this web page while googling “Nazi Propaganda”. The source appears to be very reliable, and it has plenty of useful information about the history of Nazi Propaganda. This page directly relates to my Research Project - it deals with Nazi Propaganda, which is one of the focuses of my project.

Propaganda was used to be prejudice against Jews;it was something that made them feel bad about themselves and their decisions. Jews were being treated with hostility because of the religion they were.

Hitler had a pathological hatred of the Jews that appears to stem from his time living in an openly anti-Semitic Vienna prior to WW1. Moreover, it is argued that he held Jewish financiers’ as culpable for Germany’s involvement in WW1 and the deaths of hundred of thousands of German soldiers, all of which impacted his political vision. Hitler joined the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP) and quickly rose to prominence. Hitler was aware that propaganda against the Jews resonated with voters thus many of his speeches accused the Jews for the defeat of Germany in WW1 and that it was the Jews who were hindering Germany’s recovery. Post war Germany was heavily in debt, reparations set out in the Treaty of Versailles saw the country
