Explain why Nazi propaganda was effective in creating a hatred for jews.

Nazi propaganda was effective in creating hatred for the jews:

→ The Nazis used the language and media effectively with great care. The racial

theory put forward by the Nazis that the Jews belonged to a lower race

and as such were undesirable.

→ The traditional Christian hatred for the Jews, because they were

accused to have killed Christ, was fully exploited by the Nazis in order to

make the Germans pre-judicial against Jews.

→ The Nazis injected hatred against the Jews even in the minds of the

children from the very beginning during the days of their schooling. The

teachers who were Jews were dismissed and Jews children were thrown

out of the schools. Such methods and new ideological training to the

new generation of children went a long way in making the Nazi’s

propaganda quite effective in creating hatred for the Jews.

→ Propaganda films were made to create hatred for the Jews. Orthodox

Jews were stereotyped and marked. For example, one such film was‘The

Eternal Jew’.
