FACT: Hitler and his propaganda machine used manipulated photos and visual propaganda to spread lies about Jewish people.

Hitler’s regime weaponized images, often faked, staged, or taken out of context, to dehumanize Jews and justify genocide. It was one of the earliest and most dangerous large-scale uses of visual propaganda in modern history.

While early photographic manipulation wasn’t as advanced as today’s digital editing, they used a mix of Staged photos and films, caricatures, Misleading context, and Pseudo-scientific imagery.

Cue the angry MAGA replies telling me to ‘stop comparing Trump to Hitler.’ I’m not. I’m comparing Trump and Bukele’s actions to the same tactics Hitler used—dehumanizing a group of people to justify cruelty. I’m Jewish. I grew up being taught that we must recognize these warning signs and never allow history to repeat itself. Silence isn’t an option.
