| The Nazis used propaganda to promote anti-Semitism. Under the Nazis, Jews were legally classified as a race. Hitler said "The Jews are undoubtedly a race, but they are not human." Jews were portrayed as distasteful, untrustworthy and with stereotypical physical characteristics. You are going to look at four Nazi propaganda anti-Semitic posters. Choose two of the posters to analyze. Look at the questions first, answer them on a separate sheet of paper. |
| Choose an image to analyze. Look at the Analyzing Visual Images worksheet. Complete your analysis on a separate sheet of paper. Include a copy of the picture. |
