Propaganda mean the information that is spread for a purpose. people that This image was taken in a book “How to Tell a Jews.” by Julius Streicher and publisher of Der Stürmer.


This image was set up in a classroom when a teacher just drawn several picture about Jews like their nose, eye and there arm band. Then he called a student up to talk and describe it. The teacher look straight forward to the student who stand up. They are all Aryan and Wearing German cloth.


From this book, the audience that intended the most is German Citizen (mostly children). Because they are too young to read this. when they read this, they will miss understand about the Jews. The author of this piece intend to express that Jews are very dangerous. We as a German shouldn’t play with them. They will harm us and killed us. There body and facial expression are very ugly, hunched back and ugly nose. After reading this, This message might influenced the German as scared of them and hate them because of there body. They need to get far way from them and hate them. Also to treat them as an animal.


Lastly in my opinion, this picture is negative. It tell us how to treat bad thing to Jews and also never to be friendly with them. But instead killed them or treat them as animal. Also we should punish them and take there jobs away.

Boy In the Stripped Pyjamas

Boy in the Stripped Pyjamas was written by John Boyne based on two boys " Bruno and Shmuel" and their friendship. Bruno was really sad when he heard his parent planning about moving to a place where there is boring and sad. Near his new home is the concentration camps where he found Shmuel who follow Jews. Although they live in two different part of the world where both people from other religion hating each other, but still they was best friend.

For me I think it is not the right thing to bringing such danger on one's relatives and friends by challenging the forces of law and order. "I've never spoken to him," said Bruno immediately. "I've never seen him before in my life. I don't know him."-172. This happen while Shmuel was taken to Bruno house to clean some glasses. But then Bruno found out that his friend is at his house working. Bruno came in and gave food to Shmuel. Unlucky Kotler saw those boy talking together and he cut the conversation. I think what Bruno did is wrong because he is causing his friend in to trouble by lying. I think the right thing that Bruno can do is to tell the truth. Because if he tell the truth, then everything will be a bit easier and Shmuel don't get to punished that badly. Also i think that to your friend just to save you from punishment, then your friend will get even worse punishment and they will hate you.
