Abstract
This essay examines the success of Nazi propaganda and argues that this shocking reality can be explained by four factors that came together to make a deadly poisonous brew. First, the writer notes that the fact that the Germans were so defeated in every sense in the 1930s laid the foundation. Secondly, the writer points out that there was the modern technology for mass communication which the Nazis used to spread their propaganda. Third, there was the Nazi's unusually skillful use of this technology. Finally, the writer notes that there was the German peoples' philosophy or psyche, which made them vulnerable to the Nazis. The writer concludes that these four factors combined to make it possible for the Nazi party's propaganda machine to win over the Germans.
From the Paper
"The first thing to consider is the state of Germany at the time of the Nazi ascent, in the early 1930s. Germany had been the aggressor in the First World War, and after its defeat the victorious nations had punished it, and also attempted to subdue it, by bringing it to its knees militarily and financially. The harshly punitive terms of the Treaty of Versailles made German economic recovery impossible, and sowed the seeds of anger and resentment that would make the Germans a vulnerable target for Nazi propaganda. The economic woes of the Weimar republic were compounded by the effects of the Great Depression. This began in 1929 and affected many European nations, resulting in the rise of several totalitarian movements. Of these, the Nazi party had the easiest task in winning over converts, due to the vulnerability of the Germans. With their backs up against the wall, unable to make a living, many Germans were easy targets for a charismatic leader who promised to save them from their overwhelming woes."

Abstract
This paper looks at how effectively Hitler managed to use manipulation to build the Third Reich and the extent to which the German public believed and supported Hitler's propaganda. Examples of Hitler's genius at manipulating emotions are discussed, and the man largely responsible for Hitler's successful propaganda, Dr. Joseph Goebbels, is also discussed. The media, military displays, censorship, intimidation, symbolism, and extreme awareness of public responses are all mentioned as techniques employed by the Nazi propaganda machine.
From the Paper
"The amazing thing about the propaganda of the Nazis was both the extent to which it was successful and the extent to which it was supported. No one can dispute that Hitler was a master of manipulating the people's emotions, and he arrived at a time when the people of Germany were struggling to find purpose in the post-war environment. The Weimar Republic was wracked with debt repayments and the infant democracy had nothing to stand on in terms of tradition and respect from the common people."

Abstract
The paper discusses how, Hitler's Germany, propaganda posters addressed the idea of national community of which all true Germans would be a part and in which the family would be an integral element. The paper also looks at the theme of social welfare in posters, with the Nazi party caring for and nurturing the people. The paper demonstrates how these themes are conveyed in six posters that are included in the paper.
From the Paper
"Adolf Hitler first tried to seize power in the German state of Bavaria in 1923, in the "Beer Hall Putsch," an abortive effort to overthrow the government ending in his arrest, and prison sentence of five years -- he served nine months.
"During his imprisonment, he dictated Mein Kampf, outlining his plans to use propaganda to build a party to take over the country. In chapter xi, he explains his theory and practice of propaganda as the prerequisite to political organization. It should come from a single stream. It should rouse the emotions of potential followers, bringing them to the cause, and from such people, the party's active membership will be drawn."

Abstract
This paper demonstrates the success of the Nazi's anti-Jewish propaganda in the 1930's.The author examines the effect of the German policies and how these impacted the developments of the Holocaust.
From the Paper
" Because the German people accepted the anti-Semitic policies, they could be carried out. The enforcement of these laws eventually led to what is now known as the Holocaust. By killing the German Jews the way he did, Hitler was one step closer to creating the Aryan nation he had envisioned. The National Socialists said that for a government to be successful, it had to promote the well being of its race, including removing any factors that might disrupt this. The Aryan people were the race of Nazi German; the Jews were a threat to them. Hitler removed them from the equation. By 1939, he had been an effective leader in creating a successful National Socialist State."

Abstract
This paper examines the outlook and the function of the propaganda of the Nazi regime. It explains that the propaganda came in the form of movies, radio, newspaper articles and advertisements, mass rallies and books and infiltrated all aspects of German life. The paper looks at how the Nazi propaganda's saturation of German life and the very nature in which propaganda should be used, set out by Hitler and Reichsminister Dr. Joseph Goebbels, were essential to the regime's popularity, the obedience of its people and the building of its psychological and physical strength and population numbers. The paper also notes that propaganda continued to be used by the National Socialists as a manipulator of the people even after they had gained power and that the focus shifted from politics to the demonization of the Jews and the mentally ill, and to the promotion of the Volksgemeinschaft. The paper further discusses how poster art was one of many suitable mediums for conveying these messages. In conclusion the paper shows that National Socialist propaganda takes its place in history as one of the most powerful and successful operations the world has ever known; a programme that indoctrinated a nation and seduced it into pursuing an ideological fantasy, which eventually resulted in catastrophe.
From the Paper
"One such example of Nazi poster propaganda is the announcement of the "Third Reich's Day of the Farmer of 1935". The farmer, who had always held a place of high esteem in Nazi ideology, is portrayed as a strong, tall, idealised Aryan. He stands upright with his sleeves rolled up as if ready to work or take on some tremendous task. He appears brave, strong and physically idealised and a perfect example of a good German and Aryan man. The National Socialists had recognised that the farmer was the "fount of national health and future German greatness", and with this poster the Propaganda Ministry aims to create awareness of the value of the farmer and his physical and "Volkish" qualities in that he is putting the concern for the greater Volk above himself by farming. Not only is the poster a piece of propaganda, but the event that it advertises is also a propaganda act, held to "strengthen National Socialist values"."

From the Paper
"In 1939 the war of the world included the United States anger and coupled with allies the Nazis were finally defeated. The rise and fall of the Nazis is something that we must never forget. A man with a charismatic speaking ability, and a nation with economic troubles was all it took to grow one of the biggest monsters in the history of the world. The Nazi regime still lives. It is in corners, and web sites and meetings that are around the world. We must never let them grow, and we must never let them win again."

Abstract
This paper explains that Hitler believed that to achieve his dream of a pure racial state in Germany, he had to totally eliminate the Jews from the face of the earth. The author points out that the first working session of the Reichszentrale began the process of concentrating all matters concerning Jewish emigration into the hands of the police. The paper relates that in the concentration camps German doctors practiced "medical experiments", known as eugenics, on the Jews in which experiments were made regarding the purity of German blood as opposed to that of the Jews.
From the Paper
"Hitler's first stage of this act toward racial purity and a racial state was aimed at accomplishing two ends-first, Germany had to purge itself of its internal enemies, and second, Germany had to make itself strong. The first step in this process was purgation, which had been achieved with the promulgation of the laws of 1933 and the Nuremberg Laws. At the end of August of 1936, Hitler went to Berchtesgaden, where he prepared his memorandum on the Four Year Plan. A portion of this document provided for the expropriation of all Jews when Germany went to war, for the Reichstag was to pass a law "making the whole of Jewry liable for all damages inflicted by individual specimens . . . upon the German economy and thus upon the German people"."

Abstract
This paper is about the Weimar Republic of Germany, Nazism, oppression, censorship, and the arts. It looks at pro-Nazi artists, anti-Nazi artists, and artwork that was banned during the Nazi regime of Germany. Specific works are highlighted to demonstrate what censorship meant during the Weimar Republic of Germany and how it was handled.
From the Paper
"When talking about people's response to what was happening in the changing society of Germany, one can't ignore the fact that people supported Hitler and the Third Reich. Just as some artists rebelled against the artistic norm and became part of the Dada movement, some went on to support Hitler and presented Germany with works of art that idolized the utopian society and everything that Hitler had fought for. Propaganda in Nazi Germany was running out of control. Propaganda is the art of persuasion. In order to be popular, governmentally in this case, a crowd is needed to be won over."

Abstract
This paper describes Nazi Germany's prejudice towards the Roma people, or Gypsies, pointing out that this prejudice has historical roots throughout Europe, and describes Nazi Germany's systematic attempt to exterminate the Gypsy race. The paper also examines how the persecution of the Roma during Nazi Germany's reign has been marginalized in history and how this is yet another form of marginalization that negatively affects the Roma people.
From the Paper
"When most people think of the atrocities of World War II they conceptualize the ethnic cleansing of the Jews from Nazi controlled Europe. Yet, within the context of ethnic cleansing there are also other cultures that were persecuted and killed by the Nazi regime. According to the American Heritage Dictionary the definition of Holocaust is: "The genocide of European Jews and others by the Nazis during World War II." Yet, it is left to the individual with continued ability and interest to find out just who the "others" were. "Soviet prisoners of war, homosexuals, foreign forced and slave laborers, Poles, Jehovah's Witnesses, Roma (Gypsies), and people in conquered lands. " Also in this group are those unclassified individuals such as, the poor, beggars, criminals and simply the unemployed, who are given no voice or recognition in history."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of French cinema during the Nazi occupation of France. The writer presents a history of the occupation and how it directly affected several aspects of the French cinema field. The writer goes over technical differences, as well as political restraints to illustrate the hold the occupation had over the industry, though many fought to maintain their individual styles.
From the Paper
"At this point in history it cannot be denied that the German occupation of France had far reaching ramifications. The occupation by the Nazi regime affected social as well as political arenas and the total affect was historical. One of the least recognized venues affected by the Nazi occupation of France was the French cinema industry. The French cinema industry was oppressed, and the results of that oppression have been felt for years afterwards. The occupation and the subsequent control attempts of the industry caused changes in the technical as well as the creative aspects of the industry."

Abstract
The following paper looks at how and why the Germans chose to opt for the 'final solution' against Jews in the Second World War. It discusses why average Germans became perpetrators of a genocidal policy. This paper also looks at how the 'final solution' was carried out during the war. Darwin's Theory of Evolution, which itself evolved into Social Darwinism is made reference to in this paper with regards to what the Nazi's formulated their monstrous ideas from.
From the Paper
"The Germans were not the first people to experience and participate in anti-Semitic thoughts and acts. Russians and Poles were famous for their pogroms; the Spanish for their inquisition; the history of the Diaspora of the Jews includes an unbroken continuity of persecutions, expulsions, and massacres. In fact, the times when the Jews were allowed to live in peace have been infrequent exceptions over the past 2000 years. However, analysis of the Nazi Final Solution must include the question of why an entire nation would follow a political ideology that encouraged murderous acts on an previously scale that went counter to the otherwise Christian ideals most Germans held as fundamental life structure."

This paper explains Goebbels and his Nazi propaganda as a synthesis of nationalism and anti-Semitism.

Abstract
The paper examines the meaning of nationalism in the context of Joseph Goebbels' Nazi propaganda pamphlets. The paper claims it is evident that the form of nationalism he was promoting was a synthesis of nationalism and anti-Semitism. The paper explains that this was not a Nazi invention, for nationalist sentiments and attitudes in Europe had been conditioned for centuries by anti-Semitism. Hitler, Goebbels, and the Nazis simply synthesized endemic European anti-Semitism and combined it with their ideology of a pure Aryan master race in order to unify the German people behind the Nazi Party.
