What History Teaches: Propaganda & Media Manipulation
Program Presented by: Alabama Holocaust Education Center
Explore how the Nazi regime used propaganda to manipulate public opinion, suppress dissent, and normalize antisemitism. Discussion will include reflections on today’s digital misinformation landscape.
An Urgently Relevant Conversation.
John Archibald, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist
Michele Forman, an award-winning documentary filmmaker & professor of history & film
Jonathan Wiesen, a leading scholar of modern German history & Nazi Germany
Join us as these four experts come together to examine how Hitler’s regime masterfully wielded propaganda to seize control, manipulate the masses, and spread antisemitism with terrifying effectiveness.
Together, they’ll explore striking parallels between Nazi-era media manipulation and today’s digital landscape, where misinformation spreads at lightning speed and truth is increasingly in question.
The discussion will culminate in a thought-provoking Q&A, giving you a chance to reflect and engage.
