For example, Julius Streicher published a newspaper called Der Stürmer, which means The Stormtrooper in German, which carried propaganda messages that slowly gained popularity throughout Germany. Eventually, a division of the newspaper published a children’s book called Der Giftpilz, this is German for The Poisonous Mushroom (Propaganda and Media). In this book, it had vicious messages against the Jews and had “warnings” for the children. These messages implied heavily that Jews molest children, are for spreading Communism, and even the ones to blame for the death of Jesus Christ. For example, it appealed to the children in one story where a League of German Girls scout was sick and her mother wanted to take her to a Jewish Doctor but managed to escape with the things she learned in the league (Der Giftpilz). The reason why they began to appeal to the children was because of Nazism is going to last, they needed to spread their ideals to the next generation.

    The reason Hitler did this was to make sure the teachers agreed with what the Nazis were doing and taught the students what the Nazis wanted. The text on paragraph 12 states, “The Nazis wanted to ensure that the teachers were politically reliable and supported the National Socialist Party and its principles. To accomplish this end, teachers were given a choice: Either join the National Socialist Teacher's Alliance and train the students in National Socialism or be dismissed. “ By doing this the Nazis did not have to worry about what the students learned because they had teachers that also wanted to teach the students the same thing as the

    Another big way the Nazis manipulated people was through the Nazi youth camps. The youth groups turned the Nazi ideas and ways into a fun summer camp-like idea for young children. Teens at these camps were told to reproduce and that it was okay to do so before marriage because they are “married to the Reich”. The groups of girls seemed to focus more on things such as gymnastics while the boys' camp became a sort of mini military. These camps would make the boys learn to idolize the war until they were chosen to help

  • Propaganda In Fahrenheit 451

    919 Words  | 4 Pages

    A leading 19th century psychologist named William James stated this about propaganda: "There's nothing so absurd that if you repeat it often enough, people will believe it”. Propaganda is information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. This is evident in the televised premature ending of the Montag’s chase and in the symbolism of 451 by the government in Ray Bradbury’s dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451. However, in our world propaganda has been used to unite a country through targeted mass persuasion. This is seen in two classic U.S propaganda posters that encourage U.S citizens to join the army: “I want you”(index 1) and “Remember Dec. 7th” (index 2).

  • Jewish Intellectualism According To Mein Kampf

    Many middle and upper class families who were affluent enough to own televisions would often see children’s cartoons dedicated to teaching youth about state sanctioned anti-semitism and ultra-Aryan-nativism. In one Nazi cartoon, produced in 1944, was aimed toward the French in an attempt to convince little French children that the Allied forces were violent, repressive, and unrelenting. The minute- long cartoon depicted a man with stereotypically Jewish caricatures screaming into the microphone as well as inaccurate anti-American stereotypes such as how dangerous they were and why the children should oppose them vigorously from a young age. By depicting the bombing of London, it was made to strike the fear into the minds of French children who then would have sympathies for the Nazis. In addition, Joseph Goebbels targeted prepubescent and adolescent children with a barrage of posters, videos, and pamphlets which exaggerated the greatness of the Third Reich.

    The Nazi German party was created by Adolf Hitler in 1933 to help rebuild Germany post world war one. The Germans were forced to sign a peace treaty in the aftermath of the war that severely stinted the rights of the Germans. They were not allowed to build or maintain an army, they had to surrender territories they owned, and they were made to take complete responsibility of the war and thusly pay compensations for all the damages caused by it (Treaty of Versailles, 1919). Hitler felt this was unfair and wanted to unite Germany to rebel and rise to its former glory. He united the crumbling nation by giving them a common enemy, the Jewish.
