"All propaganda has to be popular and has to adapt its spiritual level to the perception of the least intelligent of those towards whom it intends to direct itself."

-Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf ("My Struggle"), Vol. I

          Now that Hitler and his Nazi group was in charge of Germany, the first action Hitler did was to make and pass anti-Jewish laws. Laws included abolishing the basic freedom of speech, the press, and of assembly; this resulted in not being able to speak up for the Jewish. Meanwhile, Hitler was now strong in speeches, so he had also did racial, ideological speeches about his hatred against the Jewish, using animated movements to gesture and communicate his wordings better. To make his people believe that their leader was true, his propaganda speeches needed to win the hearts and minds by convincing people. To Hitler and his group, the speeches had "nothing to do with the truth." 

 To handle such communication, Hitler had appointed a scabby, short man, Joseph Goebbels who was a minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda. He was able to make statements easily into believable sounding statements, no matter how huge the lie was. If he was able to keep Anti-Semitism in people's minds and repeat it, the lie would stick.

 Hitler and his new government members 

But...other than speeches, what other communication was used to spread propaganda? There were also Anti-Semitic broadcasters. In order to publish and broadcast such propaganda, who would do that? The German Media had a free hand; there were more than 7,000 magazines and journals and 4,700 weekly newspaper articles. In addition, Goebbels urged the greeting to be "heil Hitler!" replacing "hello" and the weather forecasters were urged to use the term "Hitler weather" to refer as a cloudless, sunny day. Before people knew it, those phases had crept into Germans' vocabulary... 

          Hitler had also had a plan for women; for them to have more children. The Reich's leaders used the propaganda quote of their ideal women: "A plump, broad-hipped, fresh-painted, primly gowned, unadorned peasant girl with blonde hair pulled back into a bun or coiled braid. The highest goal to which she aspired was providing many healthy children for Germany." The government had made many benefits, such as interest-free loans and motivated women to have more babies. Hitler then seized an opportunity. When these babies grew up to be school children, Nazi teachers also learned how to teach children Anti-Semitism and also the Aryan enemy: The Jew. There were children's' books were also geared to Anti-Semitism and propaganda to teach such propaganda. 

Nazi "Hygiene"  class 

For example, the pictures were vicious caricatures; pictures showed that the Jewish were fat and uncivilized and showed the Aryan German was strong and beautiful. Teachers also excluded Jewish students by humiliating and leaving them out during class.  

          Not only the teachers will encourage Anti-Semitism, but worse, Hitler had a "Hitler Youth" program for those babies who will grow up to be Anti-Semitic and Jewish haters. Aryan girls and boys were taught various skills such as sports, endurance, and training for adulthood. The Hitler Youth was very challenging and children were taught to be disciplined. 

(Children's book: Morale is "not to trust the Jew")

          Not only there were discrimination and racial problems with children, but there were also problems with the outside world as the months passed. Towns and cities had accomplished trying to make Jewish life as miserable as possible. Messages included: "Jews are useless. You are unwelcome." If these messages make Jewish people leave, the towns achieved the rank of "Judenrien" or "cleansed of Jews." The Anti-Semitic messages were often communicated in actions. No matter how the Anti-Semitic message was delivered--it was obviously loud and clear; no Jews were wanted and they were viewed as useless and unwelcome creatures. Still, Jews believed that Germany was their homeland and chose to undergo propaganda, thinking it would be over soon. Meanwhile, more concentration camps started to go in operation and Nazis terrorism got worse over months; people were getting hanged, tortured, and shot.
