Answer:
The Nazis used propaganda extensively to manipulate the public opinion and to create a cult of personality around Adolf Hitler. They used various propaganda techniques, such as:
- Glorifying Hitler as the Führer (leader) and portraying him as a heroic and charismatic figure who could save Germany from its enemies and restore its glory.
- Spreading antisemitic and racist messages that blamed Jews, Communists, and other minorities for Germany's problems and presented them as subhuman and dangerous.
- Controlling all forms of communication, such as publications, art, theater, music, movies, and radio, and censoring any dissenting or critical voices.
- Using modern advertising techniques, such as slogans, posters, films, and radio broadcasts, to repeat their messages over and over again and to appeal to the emotions and fears of the audience.
- Distorting or fabricating facts and statistics to support their claims and to discredit their opponents.
- Creating a sense of unity and loyalty among the German people by using symbols, rituals, parades, rallies, and speeches that emphasized their common identity and destiny.
- Seeing the end of the war was near, the Nazis tried to destroy the literature and all the evidence that would link them to the Holocaust.
Thus, the Nazis tried to hide the Holocaust from most of the world during the war.
