Membership in the Hitler Youth
was mandatory in 1936
The Poisonous Mushroom
by Julius Streicher. This
children’s book was often
taught in schools.
Diminishing the Soul
"The Eternal Jew."
"The Jew: The inciter of war, the
prolonger of war."
“The Seed of Peace
Not Dragons Teeth”
The angel in the
background suggests
that German
greatness is a positive
thing and not a
threat. This imagery
is quite deliberate
and is based on a
parable in the bible of
a man sowing seeds,
which suggests a link
between Hitler and
God.
