This Nazi propaganda poster reads, Behind the enemy powers: the Jew.
The Eternal Jew Depiction of a Jew holding gold coins in one hand and a whip in the other. Under his arm is a map of the world, with the imprint of the hammer and sickle. Posters like this promoted a sharp rise in anti-Semitic feelings, and in some cases violence against the Jewish community.
Policy of Appeasement
Appeasement willingness to surrender to an aggressors demands to avoid war How was it used prior to World War II? Acceptance that Hitler could not be stopped and needed to be negotiated with (even at the expense of the smaller independent countries) Accepted because of sympathy and guilt felt by Britain and USA of unjust Treaty of Versailles
Reality Blindness to true nature of Hitlers agenda program for Eastern Europe Irony= policy used to avoid war but empowered Hitler to continue his aggressive campaign . The only way to stop Hitler was to declare war.
STEPS TO WAR
How did World War II begin?
Reflect
Was the Treaty of Versailles truly the cause of World War II? Or appeasement? What do we have to remember about hindsight when examining history? Could Hitler have been stopped at any time prior to 1939? What was Canadas view of appeasement and another potential war? What was isolationism ?
