Propaganda

Propaganda was used during the war between Germany, America, and Japan. They used propaganda so their citizens would support their country during World War II. Propaganda is a form of information that is usually biased toward certain races or individuals to spread a certain view of them. Some forms of propaganda were news reports, movies, posters, and books. One of the most famous people who used propaganda was Adolf Hitler. He was responsible for the death of many Jewish people during World War II. Hitler made his citizens believe what he was doing was right. He was very good at keeping the Nazi death camps secret to the people of Germany and the world. He used propaganda to discriminate against people who weren't of German blood. He made the Jews the enemy. He deceived the people of Germany into thinking what he was doing was good.
