The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s exhibition, State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda, shows how the Nazis employed propaganda to acquire power and help pave the way for war while creating a climate of hatred, suspicion and, most importantly, indifference that facilitated the elimination from society of Jews and others deemed undesirable by the Nazi state.

The online exhibition originally accompanied a Museum exhibition and traveling exhibition of State of Deception. Both exhibitions are now retired. A 16-poster set, based on the exhibition, is available for download.
