Jews Are Lice VS Americans Will Not Be Fooled

     During WWII, Nazis used many propaganda to influence those who supported them. They had propaganda that said Jews and anyone different are bad and Nazis are good. One of these many posters is one called Jews are Lice. This poster was basically telling people that Jews had lice. As surprising as it might be now, back then people used to actually believe this poster. It made them stay away from Jews in order to not get lice. This poster was targeted to practically anyone who could read and knew about lice. This poster is not really effective today because it doesn't say why or how Jews are lice. To me it sounds very bias making it untrue. Even though today it maybe ineffective back it probably was.

     In America, they also used propaganda. An example of that is a poster called Americans Will Not Be Fooled. This poster consists of a list of things that Hitler believed in and big letters saying "Hitler wants us to believe that. . ." The ideas on this list are basically ideas that contradict the American Constitution. I think that this poster can be effective in a way. The things it says are not what America is about, so people might agree with it. It can also not be effective today because many people believe their own ideas and many say the U.S. is corrupt, making this poster not effective. I think that the people targeted are anyone who doesn't really know a lot of information about Hitler and what he was doing. If a person didn't know a lot of information then this person could give them some info that government would like them to know.

     Both of these pieces of propaganda could have been effective back in WWII, but now, not so much. If I had to choose one of them that was more effective it would have to be Jew Are Lice. The reason why is because the poster gives the person information but it isn't clear what the maker wants the reader's outcome to be. Jew Are Lice clearly shows that the maker wants the reader to stay away from Jews. In order for this to happen and person to willingly do it, the maker added false advertising about Jews having lice.
