Paul Joseph Goebbels 1897-1945
Once they succeeded in ending democracy and turning Germany into a one-party dictatorship, the Nazis orchestrated a massive propaganda campaign to win the loyalty and cooperation of Germans.
The Nazi Propaganda Ministry, directed by Dr. Joseph Goebbels, took control of all forms of communication in Germany: newspapers, magazines, books, public meetings, and rallies, art, music, movies, and radio.
Viewpoints in any way threatening to Nazi beliefs or to the regime were censored or eliminated from all media. http://www.ushmm.org/outreach/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007677
Goebbels was a virulent antisemite from his earliest days in the Nazi party and played a leading part in “Jewish policy” after the seizure of power, from the boycott of Jewish stores in 1933 to the November pogrom of 1938.
During the war, he pressed hard for Berlin to be made “free of Jews”.
“It seems grotesque that there are still 75,000 Jews in Berlin,” he wrote in August 1941.
Antisemitism was as central to the wartime propaganda his department produced as it had been to earlier campaigns aimed at removing“alien” influences from German culture.
After the genocidal policy began he wrote in his diary of deportations and liquidation.
A long entry in March 1942 included the following:
“A judgment is being carried out on the Jews that is barbaric but thoroughly deserved.
The prophecy that the Führer gave them along the way for bringing about a new world war is beginning to come true in the most terrible fashion.
There must be no sentimentality about these matters.”
The Führer, he added, was the “unswerving champion and advocate of a radical solution”
