Nazi propaganda was meant to promote anti-Semitism, hatred, and fear. The Jew was reduced to a vermin or pest that needed to be exterminated. Not only did the Nazis achieve this dehumanization goal on posters, they achieved their dehumanization of the Jews within the walls of the ghettoes, the concentration camp’s electric fence, and the humane soul of the people. From the starvation in the ghettos, people had already started falling victim to savagery as they were being transported in the rail cars. After a lady had continually screamed about an imaginary fire, “She received several blows to the head, blows that could have been lethal” as the crowd shouted their approval (Wiesel 26).
The Nazis usually stopped this by burning books that taught people to think about what was happening in the Nazi Germany. Some of the people wanted to get away from all the propaganda by reading books, “Consequently many used their leisure hours to find respite from these pressures by reading escapist novels” (Haag 279). The German people reading books allowed them to get away from the indoctrination from the Nazis. The Nazis hated this because it slowed down the Nazi’s campagin to indoctrinate the people. Their solution to this was to burn books that allowed people to escape the Nazis, “Once the bonfire was primed with gasoline, uniformed representatives stood forward and proclaimed their so-called ‘fire-incantations’ —little planned speeches in which they attacked the books they held responsible for the collapse of Germany” (Fishburn 223).

On the beach in Normandy on June 6th, 1944, Robert Capa clutches his camera as the Allied forces huddle around him, awaiting their arrival. The boat crashes on the beach, and the soldiers sprint forward clutching their guns, and Capa runs forward clutching his camera. Capa was one of many photographers who risked their lives for photographs, only for his photos to become censored by the government. To garner support for the war effort, President Franklin DeNalo Roosevelt, developed a censorship process to maintain a squeaky-clean photographic image of the United States.
