What is Propaganda
• Biased information designed to shape public opinion and
behavior
• True, partially true, or blatantly false
• Selectively omits information
• Simplifies complex issues and ideas for mass consumption
• Plays on emotions (hopes and dreams)
• If your campaigning for office you will not give a whole
speech, just a slogan
• Not all propaganda works – If you have a radio show, but
no one has a radio – you will fail
• DOES NOT transform people into mindless robots
– Might not agree with Hitler on the Jews, but like his other
ideas
• All started in World War I
Thoughts on
Propaganda
• “Propaganda must be
limited to a very few
points and must harp
on these in slogans
until the last member
of the public
understands what you
want him to
understand by your
slogan”
-Adolf Hitler
Quote by Goebbles
• “The essence of
propaganda consists in
winning people over to
an idea so sincerely, so
vitally, that in the end
they succumb to it
utterly and can never
again escape from it.”
• If you keep tell an
outrageous lie long
enough people will
eventually believe it
Nazi Propaganda Activity
• Get into groups of 3
• Each group will receive 3 pieces of Nazi
Propaganda
• In your groups analyze each piece and fill out
the chart
• Be prepared to present your poster (if we have
time)
