It also discusses how propaganda was pervasive in Nazi Germany through various media. Finally, it outlines the goals of both pro-Nazi and anti-Jewish Nazi propaganda, such as portraying Hitler as a savior and Jews as the source of all problems in Germany.

broadcasts; Songs and slogans

Germany and every other group seen as
opponents
• To reinforce traditional negative stereotypes
about Jews
• To create a climate of contempt toward Jews
• To dehumanize the image of Jews (to
facilitate discrimination, segregation, exile,
and murder)

18. Jews as Aliens
“Only a racial comrade can be a citizen.
Only a person of German blood,
irrespective of religious denomination,
can be a racial comrade. No Jew,
therefore, can be a racial comrade.”
Point 4 - Nazi Party Program, 1920

19. The Jew as Eugenic Threat
“With satanic joy in his face, the black-
haired Jewish youth lurks in wait for the
unsuspecting girl whom he defiles with his
blood, thus stealing her from her people.
With every means he tries to destroy the
racial foundations of the people he has set
out to subjugate.”
Adolf Hitler - Mein Kampf

20. The bottom slogan reads: “Women and girls,
the Jews are your undoing!”

21. The Jew as
Communist

the book
The Eternal Jew

22. “The God of the Jews
is Money. And to gain
money, he will commit
the greatest crimes.
He will not rest
until he can sit on the
largest sack of money,
until he becomes the
King of Money.”
The Jew as Capitalist Exploiter

23. The Jew as Warmonger
“If international finance Jewry inside and
outside Europe should succeed in plunging
the nations once more into a world war,
then the result will not be the bolshevization
of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry,
but the annihilation of the Jewish race in
Europe!”
Adolf Hitler - January 30, 1939

34. Dehumanizing Words
“We had the moral right, and the duty
toward our nation to kill this people
who wished to kill us. … We do not,
because we were exterminating a
bacillus, wish to be infected by that
bacillus in the end and die.”
Heinrich Himmler - October 4, 1943

35. Dehumanizing Words
“Was there any form of filth or
profligacy, particularly in cultural
life, without at least one Jew in it? If
you cut even cautiously into such an
abscess, you found, like a maggot in a
rotting body, often dazzled by the
sudden light - a little Jew”
Adolf Hitler - Mein Kampf

39. Results of Propaganda
• “True Believers” are empowered by
propaganda to engage in behavior that
would otherwise be forbidden.
• Propaganda shifts the “frame of reference”
regarding the subject. Formerly extreme
ideas enter legitimate discussion.
• The “piling on” effect mutes opposition.

40. Lessons for Today
• Learn to recognize and interpret propaganda
and to distinguish it from legitimate attempts
to inform.
• Recognize distortions embedded in public
communication (i.e. - stereotypes, misuse of
statistics, over-generalization, guilt by
association, etc..)
• Recognize that images and words are
important because they create the social
climate – which will tend either toward
respect or contempt.
