Title: The Holocaust: Nazi Use of Propaganda


1
The Holocaust Nazi Use of Propaganda
  • How could so many people be so wrong?

2
Propaganda
  • Information that is spread for the purpose of
    promoting some cause
  • The Germans were masters of this!
  • Their cause was convincing people that Jews were
    worthless and evil.

3
How did they do it?
  • The Nazis used advertisements and cartoons like
    these to blame the Jews for Germanys problems
  • This ad shows a symbol for a Jew strangling the
    U.S, Russia, the Soviet Union, and China

4
Germans Blame Others
  • This image shows a Jewish person eating the
    European nations, suggesting they were devouring
    them with war.
  • The reality? Germany started the war and was
    gobbling territory all around them.

5
More Lies About Jews
  • The Nazis also claimed the Jews were to blame for
    Germanys financial problems Almost half of all
    Germans were unemployed
  • What symbols do you see in this poster that would
    make people blame Jews?

6
Hints in the Pictures
  • Note the gold in one hand and the whip in the
    other.
  • Nazis wanted people to think of Jews as greedy
    and selfish

7
Nazi Reason Jews Were Different
  • The Jew is shown ensnaring a woman in his web of
    lies

8
Positive Images of Hitler and Nazis
  • At the same time the Jews were blamed for war and
    poverty, ads like this made the Nazis seem kind
    and peaceful
  • This picture shows Hitler sowing the seeds of
    peace

9
Get Them Early
  • Nazis started early teaching children hatred in
    schools.
  • One text book said,
  • Which race must the National Socialist race
    fight against?
  • The Jewish race.
  • Why?
  • The goal of the Jew is to make himself the ruler
    of humanity. Wherever he comes, he destroys works
    of culture. He is not a creative spirit, rather a
    destructive spirit.

10
The Power of Information
  • The Nazis controlled information
  • Books were burned if they disagreed with the
    Nazis or were written by Jews
  • This picture is the minister of propaganda
    speaking at a book burning

11
Nazi Childrens Book
12
What does that mean?
  • This is a childrens book that is titled
  • You Cant Trust a Fox or a Jew

13
Poisonous Ideas
  • This is another childrens book that depicted the
    Jews as poisonous and tricky
  • It is called The Poisonous Mushroom

14
The Power of Words
  • The Nazis also realized that words could change
    the way people thought.
  • They called Jews vermin, like mice or rats.
  • When they were going to kill them, they called it
    extermination, not murder.
