Lies, Deceit and Propagandas

World War 2, I never thought there were so many things that lead to Hitler's rise to power. How many lies he said, how many people he killed and the lives he ruined. But then you wonder, how did he get so many people to see what he saw? It was by the propaganda's! He made propagandas that showed Jew's in the worst that they could look. And the people believed the propagandas instead of actually looking at the real Jew's that used to walk the streets of their neighborhoods.

I decided to do a propaganda named 'The Eternal Jew' made by David Pinsk in 1937. The background is a bright yellow color, it represents Germany, all bright, happy and beautiful. Then there is the man in front of it. His skin a sickly gray color and his face covered in wrinkles. His dark clothes that look like they should be worn to a funeral. His arm stretched out as if saying he has money Germany's money and they don't! His shoulders are hunched forward as if he is slumping to show his laziness. He wants to bring Communism to Germany fromt he Communist sign on Germany. Also he has the whip it shows he is threatening. This picture screams out that Jews are bad for Germany!

Although I have been referring to this as a picture throughout my post so far it is actually a poster that was once decorating the streets of Germany, a book cover and a movie poster. I think they wanted to target all kinds of audiences. This must have been one of the early posters because it looks like they are trying to convince their supporters that Jews are bad.

This poster shows what Hitler wanted them to think of Jews. That they were threatening and bad for Germany. Like all the wrinkles on the mans skin and the gray skin. Also when he is asking for money that they are pathetic and just want money. That they don't even look like them with their brown hair and eyes. If I was a German then I would have been disgusted by the Jews. I would be thinking how could they have so many flaws? That they are infecting our beautiful nation. That's probably what most people thought when they saw this. But if I somehow made a time machine and went back into time then I would look at the propagandas then I would look at the real Jews then I would know that they were all lies!

This poster was very misleading! Because they showed a person who is obviously not exceeding in the beauty category and on top of that they are asking for money. They are also utilizing lies about what all Jews are! Maybe one or two Jews were like that but they told everyone that all Jews were like this. This poster obviously gives a negative opinion on Jews, they wanted everyone to think that Jews were pathetic ugly people when not all Jews were!
