The Beginnings of Nazi Propaganda:
Nazi Propoganda began after Hitler wrote the book "Mein Kampf." Joseph Goebbels helped the Nazis win many major elections, see Nazi Rise to Power, and even helped Hitler rise to power in 1937. Joseph Goebbels became the only Minister of Popular Enlightenment and Propaganga, which allowed him to become extremely efficient in the usage of propaganda. The Wannsee Conference, organized by Adolf Eichman (the head of the SS.) The Wannsee Conference outlined the Final Solution.

The Main Events of Nazi Propaganda:
The first assignment Joseph Goebbels had after he joined the Nazi party was to get the German youth to join Hitler. He accomplished this goal by starting a "Hitler Youth" program. Many children had to join the Nazi party due to 97% of all teachers in Germany belonging to the National Socialist Teacher's Union. Propaganda encouraged hatred towards Jews, and even promoted violent acts against the Jewish people. The largest factor in the spread of Nazi Propaganda was the media. One of the most notable film makers would be Leni Reifenstahl, who made the film "Triumph des Willes." Films such as "The Eternal Jew," or "Jud Suß," encouraged hatred towards Jews and portrayed the Jews as greedy, evil beings. Speeches were another great help with the spread of Nazi Propaganda. Julius Streicher gave many speeches, and he was the first person to say publicly that the jews need to be annilihated. Even literature became a tool for the Nazi Party in the spread of Anti-Semitism. One book in particular would be "Der Giftpilz," or "The Poisonous Mushroom." "The Poisonous Mushroom" became one of the most sinister children's book in all of the literature world.

The Results of Nazi Propaganda:
Due to the Wannsee Conference, gas chambers and "ovens" were installed into the concentration camps. All of the attendees of the Wannsee Conference died withis 50 years after the war ended, some died during the war as well. The gas chambers and "ovens" allowed for thousands of Jews to be killed in rapid succession. Joseph Goebbels and his talent with propaganda made the Germans hate Jews, which allowed for the hatred to be considered "okay." Nazi Propaganda is still slightly around today, in small Neo-Nazi communities that still have the same ideals as the Nazi Party.
