Book Description
The Nazis put a remarkable amount of effort into anti-Semitic propaganda, intending to bring ordinary Germans around to the destructive ideology of the Nazi party. Julius Streicher (1885-1946) spearheaded many of these efforts, publishing anti-Semitic articles and cartoons in his weekly newspaper, Der Stürmer, the most widely read paper in the Third Reich. Streicher won the close personal friendship of Hitler and Himmler, and drew deserved attacks from the world press. Bytwerk’s biography examines Streicher’s use of propaganda techniques, and the hate literature towards Jews that continued to appear after his death, bearing his influence.
Editorial Reviews
Review
This is an important book. The SS who murdered our families had ‘Der Sturmer’ in their field packs. I hope that this book will rouse people and show them that hatred of the Jews ends in extermination. — Simon Wiesenthal
