Joseph Goebbels led an extensive ministry in order to promote Nazism and debase Jews in Europe. He inflamed German people's hatred and directed it at Jews, and he persuaded the youth of Germany to believe that joining the Hitler Jugend would benefit the Reich. He did so much to aid the Reich that it has been said Nazi efforts would have failed without him.

In this picture a civilian wearing the swastika armband of a Nazi passes out anti-Jewish boycott signs which read:"Germans, defend yourselves against Jewish atrocity propaganda, buy only at German stores." Sturmabteilung (SA) members post them on Jewish owned businesses.

Propaganda like these posters encouraged Germans to aid the war effort. Also, Germans believed that the Jews were to blame for their tribulations during the war and they were responsible for the war itself. All this is attributed the efforts of the Reich Propaganda Ministry.

Posters like these promoted enlistment and joining of the Hitler Jugend, the SS, SA, Gestapo, regular military, and various other Reich forces. They promoted Germans as superior humans. These posters shown on either side are (clockwise): A poster showing a youth with a swastika flag, an advertisement for the Waffen Schutzstaffel, and a poster promoting the Olympic games. They show the Nazi ideology of Aryans being superior to all other races.
The 1936 Olympics were the perfect example of how Goebbels used propaganda to the advantage of the Nazis. Hitler initially held the Olympics in low regard because of their internationalism, but he became an avid supporter after Joseph Goebbels convinced him of their propaganda value. The regime provided full financial support for the event, 20,000,000 Reichsmarks ($8,000,000). German athletes were depicted as superhuman and unbeatable. Nazis also wanted to mask their anti-Semitism and racism.

Goebbels used posters like this one to Jews as carousing, wicked, and base. At the bottom of the poster is an excerpt from page 97 of The Eternal Jew which reads:

"The Jew in his element: With Blacks in a Parisian night club. The Jew bring people the glittering world of perversion as a way of unnerving and enslaving them. He seems to worry as little about it as the rats worry about the plague they carry."

Goebbels' extreme hatred of the Jews arises from his monstrous inferiority complex. He exhibits this rage with his propaganda ministry, the perfect channel for his negative energy. In the poster on the left he reviles the "inferior races."

The picture on the right is more propaganda against Jews, Gypsies, and other Semites. The Reich was exulted by Goebbels' ministry, while its opponents were denounced. The skeletons in the picture are meant to depict Jews and Gypsies, which were considered by the Reich as "unconditionally exterminable." Propaganda like this swayed the German population to support the Reich and unified the people in their hatred of Jews and other groups. They were led to believe that Jews were to blame for the war and their other sufferings and grievances.
