NAZI PROPAGANDA

A caricature from a book entitled The Poisonous M ushroom. Inside the book, the comparison to the mush room is explained when a mother tel ls her child: "Just as it is difficult to distinguish between a poisonous m ushroom and

an edible mushroom, it is difficult to distinguish ben.veen a good Jew and a lying, th ieving Jew."

The caption in this picture reads: "Whenever you see a crucifix, think of the horrible murder of Jesus by the Jews." T he Nazis used this common belief among Ch ristians ro furrher alienate Jews. Nazi ideology, however, was against all rel igions and viewed C h ristianiry as a t ransferred form of J udaism. Some Aryan symbols appear in this picture such as the bright hair, the connection to nature, children , and the conrinui ry of the race.

The inscri ption in this picture reads: "The Jewish nose is wide at the end and looks like the number six ... " The number six is connected to Saran and this explanation of the "Jewish nose" gives it a devilish meaning. Even though the message of this caricature is of a mythological nature, it is presented as truth in that is being taught by a respectable Aryan reacher in a normal class. It ca n also refer to a si tuation known by the children in 1930s Germany when special instructors came to their classes ro explain Nazi racial ideology.
