Propaganda In The Poisonous Mushroom

Firstly the man on the left looks very healthy. His posture makes him appear strong,powerful and proud. The man on the left also appears to be blonde which represents how the germans believed the Aryan race was superior.The man appears to be in the german military and by his facial expression looks like he is very happy. He is also holding the Nazi flag which represents how he is proud to serve in war. At the bottom it says “ German students fight for the fuhrer and people”. Fuhrer means a ruthless leader. I believe this means he is honored to serve in war and to fight and protect his people. The poster on the left is aimed at German men to fight in war and honor your country. On the right there appears to be a man who looks very scary and has the star of David on him which means he is a jew. In front of the man are the British,soviet union and American Flag.I believe the man represents Hitler and Nazi beliefs and ideals. . It appears as if the man is hiding behind the flags. Since these two posters are side by side and the German man looks powerful, I believe this represents how the jews are cowards who rely on other countries for protection. At the bottom of the right side it says,” Behind Enemy powers;The jew”. This indicates how the jews are to blame for germany having enemies. This also represents how the germans believed they lost the first world war to the allies because of the jews or that they believe the jews control the allies. This could also represent how they believed the jews provoke war. I believe this source was aimed at germans to convince them that the jews are harm to their nation and are the cause of their past sufferings. Through these propaganda posters, Hitler convinced the german people and promoted anti jewish hate. He gained the people's support through this and his violent movement

Moreover, as an example of Nazism’s relentless deconstruction of Jewish character, the title also served as a proponent of both “Gleichschaltung” and the Führer Principle, by discrediting and denigrating the Jews, an enemy was defined and targeted for the non-Jewish population to “coordinate” behind their “Führer” against.

Stage five is organization . Stanton writes that “Genocide is always organized, usually by the state, often using militias to provide deniability of state responsibility.” The emphasis on the supremacy of the “Aryan race” and the German worker is depicted in the picture to the left with the strong Aryan man standing above individuals who are deemed inferior, such as intellectuals or the poor as depicted in the poster. This kind of propaganda cemented the belief that Jews were superior to pure Germans. While Jews are not specifically depicted in this poster, they are still lumped in with the rest of the minorities that Nazi leadership had deemed, as depicted in the picture, inferior to the “Aryan Race.”

In Germany, Streicher used his newspaper as a way to get back at Jews. He used it to get back at his nemesis, Hermann Luppe, by accusing one of his Jewish employs during World war One. He accused the Jew, Julius Fleischmann, of stealing stocks from his quartermaster during combat. Julius sued and won but he ruined his reputation in the middle of it. Streicher was fined 900 marks and because of Julius's lost reputation his new motto was "Something always sticks.” While the newspaper was hating on the Jews, there was propaganda with an art exhibit for the wandering Jew. At the time it was it was the largest Nazi propaganda. It has a picture of a Jew wearing a Kaftan with a whip in one hand and gold in the other with a map of the world under his arm with a hammer and sickle on it. The exhibit had pictures of typically "Jewish" features of politics like Charlie Chaplin and Leon Trotsky. In the areas the exhibit went there were police reports of violence against the Jews. Even though the Nazis just plain hated the Jews, the Christians could have thought the Jews did so something wrong. On the night of the Spanish Inquisition, there was the blood libel of the Holy Child of La Guardia in 1490-1491. There, Jews who were converted to Christianity were tortured and forced to confess lies. They said with the

He is also highlighting the main topic in the film. The main character, who is a Polish-Jewish pianist, during the time of the Holocaust, and Jewish persecution. On the poster, it is a black background with pictures of a Star of David armband and Szpilman's hands playing the piano. It is arguing the sorrow, and awful truths entwined with The Holocaust. It is arguing that because, believe it or not, there are some who do not say that the Holocaust even happened. The directors and producers wanted to turn the autobiography into a movie to show what it was like from a different perspective.

Propaganda is a form of rhetoric that manipulates information to influence public opinion. It lacks critical balance as it overemphasizes elements that support a position and ignores opposing viewpoints. Although propaganda, in its original sense, could be used to promote positive causes, it has acquired a negative connotation and is used as a pejorative to describe ideological messages that people usually disagree with. Film is regarded as the most effective medium to distribute propaganda to a large audience of different classes. “In comparison with other arts, film has a particular forceful and lasting psychological and propagandistic impact because of its effect not on the intellect, but principally on the emotions and the visual sense” (Interview with Fritz Hippler qtd.

For thousands of years, the Jewish People have endured negative stereotypes such as the "insects of humanity." As Sander Gilman pointed out, the Nazi Party labeled Jews as "insects like lice and cockroaches, that generate general disgust among all humanity" (Gilman 80).1 These derogative stereotypes, although championed by the Nazis, have their origins many centuries earlier and have appeared throughout Western culture for thousands of years. This fierce anti-Semitism specifically surfaced in Europe’s large cities in the early twentieth century, partially in conjunction with the growing tide of nationalism, patriotism, and xenophobia that sparked the First World

When people think of World War II, they are reminded of the tragic horror that befalls the Jewish race. They were tortured endlessly, being treated as nothing more than swine. All this occurred, because a man with a twisted mind blamed them for Germany’s loss in World War I. Germany suffered many hardships after the war, due to compensation. Their economy dropped, causing their lifestyle to change. This man, by the name of Adolf Hitler, demonstrated, with his political prowess, ways in which Germany can prosper again. As he spoke, he started to attract listeners, and before long, he had a following. As with any group, there is always some kind of identification. An symbol, emblem, phrase,

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor from Japan on December 7, 1941. American President Franklin Roosevelt declared a former declaration of Allied war aims with British prime minister Winston Churchill. Japan intended the bombing of Pearl Harbour to cripple America from interfering with their plans of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Pearl Harbour was a military camp filled with ships and planes, the bombing destroyed many valuable equipment and many soldiers were killed and injured. The United States shared many goals with Britain and Russia to defeat Germany, while acting defensive against Japan. The propaganda made by the General Motors Company was used to encourage the public to produce more goods and funds to the war efforts. Propaganda posters

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

History has shown that, in a wartime setting, a country needed all of the possible help it could get to win a war. Whether it was joining the military or supporting it, all citizens of a country were able to help the war effort. During World War II, one of the most effective ways to get help from citizens of a country was through propaganda. Propaganda encouraged people to help in many different areas, especially encouraging people to enlist in the army. Propaganda even targeted people that were unable to fight. Different forms of propaganda targeted various groups of people to encourage them to help in the war effort through their money or through

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.

At the Bronx High School of Science’s Holocaust Museum, there were many important pieces of evidence that revealed the horrors of the Holocaust. The artifact that struck me the most is a poster that shows a Nazi enemy stabbing the center of a Holy Bible with a dagger, and the words “This is the Enemy” printed underneath. This poster was designed by Barbara Marks in 1942 in Washington DC. The purpose of this artifact was to portray Nazi opposition to many religions in America. The image of propaganda depicts the Nazis as monstrous people who despised other religions, especially Judaism, and did whatever they could to eliminate the Jewish population. This artifact stood out to me because it helped me understand the main reason for the Holocaust.

World War 1, a war starting in 1914 and ceasing in 1918, was a time when Britain took advantage of many types of warfare, such as aviation technology and chemical warfare, no exception to these more physical types of warfare was the increased use of propaganda. In Britain propaganda became an extremely effective tool of non-physical warfare, and the government and war offices used the resource to its full extent in many different ways. Although many uses for propaganda in war one were available, the main two ways that Britain used propaganda were for enlistment and to target German’s atrocities. Enlistment was a crucial element to the war, as if no one signed up to join Britain’s war effort they would stand no chance against the opposing alliances, therefore propaganda played an important role for gaining participants and atrocity propaganda was used as a tool to target Germany to help gain supporters and to rack sympathy for Britain’s war effort.

First, Hitler’s face is surrounded by flames, as if he is the devil. He also has an angry and wicked facial expression, which is a commonality in the way enemies are portrayed and a typical characteristic in bad guys. Additionally, you cannot ignore the fact that his head is hovering over a sea of burning, dead bodies. The bodies represent the thousands of Jews who were slaughtered during the Holocaust and put to death in concentration camps. In the center of the image, there is a woman lying dead with an infant, most likely her son, crying in a pool of blood.
