This photo I chose to talk about tries to show Jewish people as evil, propaganda has a purpose, the purpose of propaganda is get a certain point across to a certain audience of people, it doesn't matter how subtle or extreme your words are, just as long as you get your point across, this to me seemed odd because I always thought you had to watch what you were going to say no matter who you were, I was proven very wrong not too long ago when I heard the unmistakable words coming from Donald Trumps mouth, but I was proven even more wrong once I saw this poster. This poster displays the face of the devil and the face of a man. The words on the poster translate to “Satan has taken off his mask.” This was very odd to me because it would catch attention to many groups of people. One being people who are very religious, if a religious person where this much hate was displayed towards Jewish people, then they see a person like this, there must be something in the, that says " Oh well it must be true. Satan is bad so are Jews." Another group whose attention this would catch is people who already display that hate, this just gives them more reasoning to be cruel. Also people who think that the government is a reliable source, they've been taught to have people think for them and they aren't able to develop their own thoughts. This would be just as affective on them, " The government put up this poster and authorized for it to be made, the words on it must be truth." I just think it is absurd to relate a whole group of people to Satan, something that is universally known and is controversial, you shouldn't set people up for so much hate to get a point across that is so absurd on its own.

Propaganda Needs a Boundary
