New Exhibition at USHMM: The Power of Nazi Propaganda

"Can words and images inspire people to commit acts of genocide? The Nazis were skilled propagandists, but they were hardly the first or the last Disseminators of intolerance and hate in this age of instant electronic communication have many tools.
The Museum's new exhibition State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda examines what propaganda is, how it was used, and what its implications are for our world today.

The exhibition will run for three years as part of a major Museum initiative on propaganda, supported by the Marcus Foundation. The initiative includes a companion website, book, public programs, and a traveling exhibition, as well as educational programming for media and government officials.
