Nazism in the News
American newspapers reported frequently on Hitler and Nazi Germany throughout the 1930s. At least 2,000 daily newspapers were printed in the United States in 1933, and most American households received one. US press coverage included reports on the Nazis' persecution of Jews, Communists, and other political opponents.
Yet American readers could not imagine that this persecution would lead to Germany's mass murder of Jews and other civilians by 1941. |
