In Nazi Germany, there was no escaping the steady drumbeat of lies and misinformation to build German pride and blame the Jews for society’s problems. Nazi propaganda was pervasive-from radio broadcasts and blockbuster movies to billboards and children’s books. Join us to find out how Hitler and the Nazi party deployed a sweeping campaign to win support, manipulate a nation, and eventually commit mass murder.
