World War Two: Lying About the Jews in Film

This video is part of a channel I subscribe to on YouTube. This channel provides a day by day chronology of the Second World War along with special episodes that go deeper into a particular aspect of the war. Their videos are extensively researched, referenced, and well produced. The one uploaded today covers how the Nazis used film to push their fascist message and also to persecute and villainize the Jews.

The information in this video and how the Nazis used film to control the German people's thinking bears frightening resemblance to what we see today and how the Right uses Faux News, OAN, RW Talk radio, and conservative social media to control and deliver their messaging.

"How do you convince your people to hate and fear their neighbors, to support a genocidal war of aggression, and see you as their only hope? If you are Adolf Hitler or Joseph Goebbels, the answer is simple. You send them to the cinema. "

CAUTION: This video contains Anti-Semitic quotes, images, and excerpts from Nazi Propaganda film. While these quotes, images, and film excerpts are used for information purposes, viewer discretion is advised.

I like the history, and then they do special
Episodes like the War on Humanity series. But the Indy Nidel ones are my favorite.
