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.

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”.
