front, 2nd line, white ink on black background : Kürzlich Schrieb die ,,News Chronicle'' : (Recently wrote the News Chronicle]
front, center, within rectangle, black ink : ,,Unsere Kriegsanstrengungen erlauben überhaupt keinen / Vergleich mit denen Deutschlands. Es ist lächerlich, Fabel- / geschichten zu lauschen, die von den Schwierigkeiten der / Naziserzählen und gleichzeitig an unseren Schwierigkeiten / vorbeizusehen. Die englische Regierung muß ganz andere / und bedeuten drastischere Maßnahmen anwenden, als sie / dies bisher getan hat, und sie muß zu Zwangshandlungen / schreiten. Im vorigen Winter glaubten wir, daß Deutschland / schlafen würde. Erst nach dem 10. Mai glaubten wir / Hitlers Worten, daß Deutschland nicht geschlafen hat. / Es wäre Wahnsinn, jetzt glauben zu wollen, daß Deutsch- / land in diesem Winter auf seinen Lorbeeren schlafen wird.'' ["Our war effort allows no comparison with those of Germany. It is ridiculous to listen to mythical stories that look past the difficulties of the Nazi narrative and our own difficulties. The British government has to apply quite different means and more drastic measures, than it has done so far, and it must proceed to compulsory actions. Last winter we believed that Germany would sleep. It was only after the 10th of May, that we believed Hitler's words, that Germany has not slept. It would be madness now to want to believe that Germany will sleep this winter on its laurels."]
front, bottom, black ink : Wir können der ,,News Chronicle’’ nur / bestätigen, dass sie diesmal ausnahms- / weise die Wahrheit gesagt hat. Übrigens scheint uns diese seltene Wahrheitsliebe im / hinblick auf die vernichteten britischen Geleitzüge und die ,,coventrierten’’ englischen / Rüstungszentren nicht allzu erstaunlich. Denn allmählich erhebt sich ja angesichts / dieser Tatsachen selbst für einen Churchill die frage: ,,Wie sag' ich’s meinem Kinde?!’’ [We can only confirm that the "News Chronicle" has been telling the truth this time. By the way, it seems to us this rare love of truth with regard to the destroyed British convoys and the "coventrierten" English armament centers is not particularly amazing. Because the question rises gradually even in the face of these facts, even Churchill would ask: "How do I tell my child?"]

The Nazis used propaganda to buttress public support for the war effort, shape public opinion, and reinforce antisemitic ideas. As part of their propaganda campaign, the Nazis created the Word of the Week Series of posters (also referred to as Wandzeitung, or wall newspapers), the first of which was distributed on March 16, 1936. Each week, approximately 125,000 posters were strategically placed in public places and businesses such as: market squares, metro stations, bus stops, payroll offices, hospital waiting rooms, factory cafeterias, schools, hotels, restaurants, post offices, train stations, and street kiosks so that they would be viewed by as many people as possible. Posters were the primary medium for the series, but smaller pamphlets were also produced, which could be plastered on the back of correspondence. The posters used colorful, often derogatory caricatures, and photorealistic images with vibrant language to target the Nazis' early political adversaries, Jews, Communists, and Germany's enemies during the war. The series was discontinued in 1943.

The Nazis used propaganda to buttress public support for the war effort, shape public opinion, and reinforce antisemitic ideas. As part of their propaganda campaign, the Nazis created the Word of the Week Series of posters (also referred to as Wandzeitung, or wall newspapers), the first of which was distributed on March 16, 1936. Each week, approximately 125,000 posters were strategically placed in public places and businesses such as: market squares, metro stations, bus stops, payroll offices, hospital waiting rooms, factory cafeterias, schools, hotels, restaurants, post offices, train stations, and street kiosks so that they would be viewed by as many people as possible. Posters were the primary medium for the series, but smaller pamphlets were also produced, which could be plastered on the back of correspondence. The posters used colorful, often derogatory caricatures, and photorealistic images with vibrant language to target the Nazis' early political adversaries, Jews, Communists, and Germany's enemies during the war. The series was discontinued in 1943.

Each week, approximately 125,000 posters were strategically placed in public places and businesses such as: market squares, metro stations, bus stops, payroll offices, hospital waiting rooms, factory cafeterias, schools, hotels, restaurants, post offices, train stations, and street kiosks so that they would be viewed by as many people as possible. Posters were the primary medium for the series, but smaller pamphlets were also produced, which could be plastered on the back of correspondence. The posters used colorful, often derogatory caricatures, and photorealistic images with vibrant language to target the Nazis' early political adversaries, Jews, Communists, and Germany's enemies during the war. The series was discontinued in 1943.

German propaganda poster claiming the United States Army is using criminals to fight in Germany

Object

German propaganda poster issued during the week of June 17 to June 23, 1942, from the Parole der Woche (Word of the Week) series. The poster depicts pictures of American criminals from the recent past, including: Al Capone, Thomas Pendergast, Robert Emmet O'Malley, Robert J. Boltz, and William P. Buckner. The text purports that United States President Franklin Roosevelt recruited criminals to serve in the American armed forces against Germany. It also accuses Roosevelt of being a money launderer, and claims he has a rapport with the criminal elements. The Nazis use this unfounded appraoch as evidence that America’s war on Germany is unjust and ignoring that Germany declared war on the U.S. The poster also attempts to justify the Nazi’s treatment of Jews by showing a captioned picture of a man called, “Louis the rabbi” along with the criminals, and claims that Jews are in league with organized crime. The Nazis used propaganda to buttress public support for the war effort, shape public opinion, and reinforce antisemitic ideas.

Nazi propaganda poster claiming American Jews want to exterminate the German people

Object

German propaganda poster issued during the week of August 19 to August 25, 1942, from the Parole der Woche (Word of the Week) series. This poster uses a quote from Theodore Kaufman’s book, “Germany Must Die,” and claims that the Jews and their allies are fighting to exterminate the German people. Theodore Kaufman was a fringe, Jewish-American extremist writer who advocated for the sterilization of German men and women as a means to eliminate the German people, and the partition of German territory among neighboring nations. Although his writings were not popular in America, the Nazis used them heavily in their propaganda to advocate for public support for the war. They falsely claimed that Kaufman’s ideas were popular opinion in America, and that Kaufman was an associate of President Roosevelt. The Nazis used propaganda to buttress public support for the war effort, shape public opinion, and reinforce antisemitic ideas.

German propaganda poster claiming Hitler and the Nazis are not against religion

Object

German propaganda poster, issued the week of December 3 to December 9, 1941, from the Parole der Woche (Word of the Week) series. The poster shows an unflattering picture of United States President Franklin Roosevelt. The German text claims that Roosevelt is a Jewish puppet that said that the Nazis wish to destroy all religion. To refute this, the poster quotes a speech Adolf Hitler gave on November 8, 1941, at Löwenbräukeller in Munich, Germany, to commemorate the anniversary of the Beer Hall Putsch. In the speech, Hitler claims that he does not care what religion a person is. He goes on to falsely claim that religious leaders in the U.S. are barred from speaking out against the state, and that soldiers cannot attend religious ceremonies. The relationship between the Nazi party and religion was complex. Initially, the Party was not openly hostile to the Protestant and Catholic Churches; however, the Party believed that Christianity and Nazism were ideologically incompatible. The Nazi government signed a Concordat with the Vatican, stating it would recognize the Nazi regime, which would in turn would not interfere in the Catholic Church. However, the Concordat was broken by the Nazis with the passage of anti-religious policies to undermine the church’s influence in 1935. The first Word of the Week Series of posters (also referred to as Wandzeitung, or wall newspapers), were distributed on March 16, 1936. The series used colorful, often derogatory caricatures, and photorealistic images with vibrant language to target political adversaries, Jews, Communists, and Germany’s enemies during the war. The series was discontinued in 1943.

As part of their propaganda campaign, the Nazis created the Word of the Week Series of posters (also referred to as Wandzeitung, or wall newspapers), the first of which was distributed on March 16, 1936. Each week, approximately 125,000 posters were strategically placed in public places and businesses such as: market squares, metro stations, bus stops, payroll offices, hospital waiting rooms, factory cafeterias, schools, hotels, restaurants, post offices, train stations, and street kiosks so that they would be viewed by as many people as possible. Posters were the primary medium for the series, but smaller pamphlets were also produced, which could be plastered on the back of correspondence. The posters used colorful, often derogatory caricatures, and photorealistic images with vibrant language to target the Nazis' early political adversaries, Jews, Communists, and Germany's enemies during the war. The series was discontinued in 1943.

Late 20th-Century poster criticizing a court acquittal of Holocaust deniers

Object

Post-period poster published in 1995, juxtaposing photos of emaciated concentration camp victims with a short editorial about the acquittal of two Holocaust deniers in Hamburg, Germany. In February 1995, a German Judge acquitted two men, both members of the right-wing Freiheitliche Arbeiter Partei (FAP, Free Worker’s Party), of charges stemming from their recording of a message that criticized the film, “Schindler’s List,” as “perpetuating the Auschwitz myth” on an established Neo-Nazi phone line. The judge based his decision on the defense’s successful arguments over the ambiguity of the word “myth.” This ruling followed soon after another high-profile German court decision involving a Holocaust denier involved in a separate incident. The two rulings brought to the forefront long-standing public distrust of the courts’ dealing with Holocaust denial and antisemitism cases. This distrust stemmed from the return of Nazi judges to their posts in the German civil service during the postwar years, and accusations that judges were lenient on right-wing extremists while being harsh in cases against the left. These cases came at a time of intense moral concern over Holocaust denial. The decisions created public scandals, which precipitated intense debates over the judges’ personal and professional backgrounds, as well as the rulings and opinions in the cases.

Each week, approximately 125,000 posters were strategically placed in public places and businesses such as: market squares, metro stations, bus stops, payroll offices, hospital waiting rooms, factory cafeterias, schools, hotels, restaurants, post offices, train stations, and street kiosks so that they would be viewed by as many people as possible. Posters were the primary medium for the series, but smaller pamphlets were also produced, which could be plastered on the back of correspondence. The posters used colorful, often derogatory caricatures, and photorealistic images with vibrant language to target the Nazis' early political adversaries, Jews, Communists, and Germany's enemies during the war. The series was discontinued in 1943.
