There were also children’s books that portrayed anti-semitism. In a specific book, Der Glipilz, it had multiple pages with Jewish stereotypes. This book is one of the most famous children's book that portrays anti-semitism. Germans even said that this book was telling the truth and “portrayed a Jew as he really was, a Devil.”

Many of the ideas in the book stuck with the German children throughout their lives. As the children were growing up, they were being taught these stereotypes everywhere they went, so they could not forget about any of these disgusting lies. Children could watch films and see anti-semitism being portrayed.

When the Holocaust began, anti-semitism forced Jewish people to move out of their homes and into concentration camps. Anti-semitism was more than a prejudice against Jews. It was a practical lifestyle that Germans emphasized in everything they did. Everything was stemmed off of myths and supersessionism. This progression of myths seemed to never end, and propaganda films and books continued to get published.

This propaganda poster continued out the idea that Jewish people wanted to take over the world with their higher power.

“Portrayed a Jew as he

really was, a Devil.”
