"Propaganda," Adolf Hitler wrote in 1924, "is a truly terrible
weapon in the hands of an expert." State of Deception: The Power of
Nazi Propaganda documents how, in the 1920s and 1930s, the Nazi
Party used posters, newspapers, rallies, and the new technologies
of radio and film to sway millions with its vision for a new
Germany-reinforced by fear-mongering images of state "enemies."
These images promoted indifference toward the suffering of
neighbors, disguised the regime's genocidal actions, and
insidiously incited ordinary people to carry out or tolerate mass
violence.The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is addressing
this topic today because, in an age of instant electronic
communication, disseminators of messages and images of intolerance
and hate have new tools, while at the same time consumers seem less
able to cope with the vast amounts of unmediated information
bombarding them daily. It is hoped that a deeper understanding of
the complexities of the past may help us respond more effectively
to today's propaganda campaigns and biased messages.
