“How on earth did people come to hate, participate in, or turn a blind eye to the disappearance of six million people?”

How did Hitler and the German Nazi party convince millions of people that the genocide of Jews during the Holocaust was not only justifiable, but correct? What can we learn from one of the world’s most terrible times in history? Can Posters Kill? uses rare, historical posters to take readers on a visual journey from 15th-century anti-Jewish media to the venomous propaganda of the Second World War. These posters show how powerful propaganda can be as a social and political tool, and act as a warning sign for the kind of messages that can be spread, in an instant, in today’s digital world. Through understanding propaganda from the past, we can recognize and prevent similar campaigns from succeeding again.
