Propaganda and the Holocaust

Propaganda was probably the most widely used tool of the Nazi party. They brainwashed people with their messages. They said things so many times that people began to believe them, and people wanted to believe them. Why wouldn’t they? The Nazis were promising everything good, and asking very little in return. All they were asking was for the support of the German people in their campaign against the evil Jewish people and foreigners. This wasn’t a really big thing to ask either, since the Europeans had never had a very favorable impression of the Jewish people in the first place.

The Nazis were very modern with their use of the media in that they used radio, posters, and used planes to transport their message. These new methods appealed to people, as they hadn’t been used a lot before this. These also appealed especially to the youth because of the modern forums that the Nazi’s techniques were taking.

Germany is a big place with a lot of people, and a radical party, like the Nazis for example, needed the backing of the majority of the people. They did their best to reach and appeal to everyone of German blood.

The Nazis had a lot of things going for them. The economy was thriving, unemployment was almost nonexistent, and everyone was happy. Holocaust time What more do people want from a government, the Nazis had it all covered. People wanted the Nazis and that’s why they were so strong. The Nazis didn’t take the power from the people. The people gave it to them.
