  17. The resolution of WWI left a once proud Germany in a state of shame. Hitler was able to reawaken national pride and to draw vast audiences of supportive listeners. His rhetoric convinced many people that Jews were the cause of all that was wrong with Germany. Why was Germany willing to accept Hitler as a dictator and to use the Jews as scapegoats?

  18. - Hitler controlled the media, destroyed books, and had textbooks rewritten to align instruction with Nazi guidelines. - He used positive images for everything connected with Nazism and negative images for everything connected with the Jews. What forms of propaganda did Hitler use to indoctrinate and train German youth, control adult society, and deceive the world?

  19. Propaganda can be very powerful because it capitalizes on people’s prejudices and fears. • Also provides scapegoats to be blamed for everything that is not going right, meaning that people then do not have to blame themselves Could propaganda be used in the United States today to create hatred against a minority group?

  20. One would hope the U.S. will never devolve to genocide, but it is important to remember that Germany in the 1930s and 1940s was a very civilized nation. • U.S. history includes cruel treatment of Native Americans that resulted in decimation of that population. • Illegal aliens sometimes bear the brunt of blame for economic problems. Do you think a country like the United States could ever find itself engaged in a genocide?
