    This was Hitler’s right hand man, and this is the man who ultimately brainwashed everyone. Goebbels promoted the Nazi message through art, music, theater, films, books, radio, and the press. Goebbels worked to inflame the anger of Germans over their defeat in World War I and emphasized German cultural and military achievements to boost national pride. He had the same idea as America, with gaining national pride, it's just they were nowhere close to being the same. I strongly disagree with his usage of propaganda and with him creating it.…

    The propaganda and indoctrination caused some Germans to think that Jews should be discriminated against and removed from Germany, which caused an increase in anti-Semitism. The fact that some people were happier under Hitler meant that more people were likely to accept the anti-Semitic movements, even if they didn’t fully agree with it, because there was so many other things that Hitler did that meant them happy, meaning they thought it was worth it to keep Hitler rather than want him removed as leader. However, the main reason for the increase in anti-Semitism is the cumulative radicalisation, which meant that members of the German state were constantly doing even more anti-Semitic things in order to ‘work towards the Fuhrur.’ This had the biggest effect on the increase in anti-Semitism because it opened up so many methods in which anti-Semitism could…

Jews are seen as evil, lazy, and powerful; Jews were blamed for many events by Adolf Hitler including the economic crisis of the early 19th century, the execution of Jesus Christ, and a variety of Germany’s problems.…

    He was a sick mastermind. Maybe it was slow so that the Jews would not actually realize until it was too late what was really going on.

    The persecution of the Jews within Germany has its roots well before the Nazis came into power, specifically in the immediate aftermath of World War One. Many Germans could not come to terms with their country’s defeat after World War One causing many to buy into the idea that German was betrayed by an enemy within. The argument that Germany was “stabbed in the back” by a sect of their own people lead to sporadic anti-Semitism among the German populace and was eventually exasperated in 1920s by the text, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which was fabricated and claimed that a Jewish was taking over the world. The Nazi Party capitalized on the anti-Semitic attitudes of some Germans as well as a plethora of other more important issues of the time. Once coming into power in 1933 the Nazi Party immediately began trying to ostracize any member of the Jewish…

Throughout the novel, Brown explained that Adolf Hitler had people by his side to help influence his decisions.…

    Many films were created as propaganda to belittle the Jews and to promote the strength of the Aryan race whom Hitler praised. One such film was The Eternal Jew (1940), which showed Jews as being horrible people who were consumed with the idea of sex and money. This use of propaganda was successful in promoting the Nazi message and brainwashed many people into believing in the same ideals. As well as propaganda, Hitler censored the press in Germany to assure that everything he wanted the Germans to see, like the propaganda, were being seen and that nothing negative about the Nazi Party or himself was being viewed instead. This, along with Hitler’s military forces, kept people from opposing Hitler and made it much easier for him to rise to power and stay in power when he got there (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, 2016).…
