The word propaganda is often used in a negative sense, especially for politicians who make false claims to get elected or spread rumors to get their way. In fact, any campaign that is used to persuade can be called propaganda. War is a state of armed conflict between societies. It is generally characterized as extreme aggression, destruction, and usually high mortality. Adolf Hitler combined these two terms into one, and strategically did so in the psychological warfare of World War II. Hitler used propaganda in a handful of ways, and made a war weapon of it. He intended to dehumanize, maneuver, and to decept the nation in insidious ways, and propaganda was a main contributor. Influences worldwide were…

One specific type of propaganda used by the Nazis in WWII was the propaganda “fear”. The Nazis used this to persuade the Germans and everyone else if they don’t get rid of the jews no they will overpower and eventually destroy what they had accomplished. The Nazis would use “fear” by making posters, books, speeches, etc. saying if they don’t eliminate the jews the jews would eliminate them. The United States used the propaganda “fear” as well by claiming if they did not lock away the Japanese-Americans we would all be killed because they were “spies”. The United states used the propaganda fear to have the Japanese-Americans incarcerated and to have fellow people believe they were spies. As you see from history the propaganda fear that was…
Literature can be an extremely powerful tool of persuasion. One man with one idea has the potential to influence hundreds, thousands, or even millions of people through writing. In fact, one particularly influential piece of literature convinced an entire population of people to ostracize, shun, and even murder their fellow citizens. Compelling texts such as Hitler’s Mein kampf allow me to believe that literature could be considered propaganda. These pieces of literature, when written to pacify a specific audience, can strongly appeal to humanity’s “passions”, as Plato suggests. I believe that authors use literature as a vehicle to demonstrate their personal beliefs and influence their audience to share those beliefs.…
Propaganda is often seen as negative, because of its use of exaggerated statistics or false statements to manipulate whomever is looking at that poster or advertisement to believe that it’s true. For example, the propaganda in Nazi Germany, they would control what the German citizens could see, read, and hear. Dr. Joseph Goebbels, was put in charge by Hitler, in order to control the propaganda that the public population had access to. Therefore, it was his job to make sure that the German citizens were only allowed contact to what made the Nazi campaign seem like the best and only opinions they had. Goebbels said “The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to…
Why did countries use propaganda to get their citizens to assist in the war effort? War propaganda has been used throughout history and has been used throughout history to get citizens of a country to help the war effort, even when they themselves were not fighting in the war.

Hitler with his convincing speeches persuaded many people to go against the Jews. He formed a political party called the Nazis and together they ruined many Jews’ lives.

The camps were very terrible, many dead bodies were found stacked up together after the Holocaust…

Even though the outcome of World War II was influenced by the technology utilized by the nations participating in the war, the outcome was also dependent on a manipulative form of information. That manipulative form of information is also known as “propaganda.” During World War II, propaganda was used to effectively: demoralize enemies, spread news, increase country morale, and indoctrinate civilians. Thanks to the use of propaganda, the outcome of the world favored the Allied Powers, but it also affected the core values of societies during and after World War II. World War II propaganda caused the populations of Japan, United States, Great Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union to change their core value from “treating people ethically and…
“The Nazis believed that the Aryans had the most "pure blood" of all the people on earth. “To the Nazis, the term “Aryan” meant a non-Jewish, white, tall person with blonde hair and blue eyes.” According to Hitler in his book, Mein Kampf, "Blood sin and desecration of the race are the original sin in this world and the end of a humanity which surrenders to it" In this passage, he refers to the mixing of blood between races. Racist ideals were taught in school, Jewish establishments were boycotted and vandalized, homosexuals were spied on and the non-Aryan race was demonized.…
” It is not the purpose of propaganda to create a series of alterations in sentiment…. Its chief function is to convince the masses, whose slowness of understanding needs to be given time in order that they may absorb information; and only constant repetition will finally succeed in imprinting an idea on the memory of the crowd.” Adolph Hitler Mein Kampf Ch 6 (1)…

The Holocaust was a genocide in which 6 million Jews were murdered by the Nazi regime. The Holocaust occurred in January 30, 1933 – May 8, 1945. The Nazi party was able to carry out their systematic plan of genocide through various cruel, discrimination, and violence. Nazi had to generate a sense of hate towards the Jewish people. “The Pyramid shows biased behaviors, growing in complexity from the bottom to the top. Although the behaviors at each level negatively impact individuals and groups, as one moves up the pyramid” (adl.org). The Nazi propaganda falls under the first level in the “pyramid of hate” which is bias. The “pyramid of hate” describes concentrations camps as bias-motivated violence because they would murder and threaten the Jews and other minorities. All in all, the Holocaust embodies all levels of the pyramid which constitutes this historical event as the first notable modern-era genocide.…
