Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject History of Germany – National Socialism, World War II, grade: 1, 0, Jacobs University Bremen g Gmb H, language: English, abstract: The essay deals with the reasons for and two major concepts of Nazi propaganda, trying to answer the questions “Why was there so little resistance against the discriminative actions of the Nazis, especially against their genocide of the Jews? How did the Nazi regime manage to convince people of the alleged righteousness and necessity of eliminating the Jewish race?”. The situation at the end of the Weimar Republic plays an important role in the success of the Nazi propaganda. Key concepts of this propaganda were the creation of a common enemy (the Jews) and a ‘people’s community’ to tie the population together against this enemy. However it must be stated that a comprehensive attempt to answer the question of “How could it happen?” would have to include various other aspects and that there will still remain unresolved questions.
