The Nazis' well-organised propaganda was one of their most efficient instruments of power. Through the use of various media, the population was again and again indoctrinated with the same messages. With postcards, posters and photographs, as well as excerpts from Leni Riefenstahl's film Triumph of the Will, the group analyses content, objectives, and mechanisms of propaganda. During the 3-hour programme, the structure of the Nazi propaganda machinery is worked out, and caricature is addressed as an important genre of anti-Semitic visual propaganda. During the 6-hour programme, in the course of a tour of the former Party Rally Grounds, the role of architecture in propaganda is explored, and the way of dealing with the grounds is addressed. Afterwards, small groups design visual presentations about today's learning location, the Nazi Party Rally Grounds.
