What They Wanted Us to Know: Disinformation, Rumors, and Ignorance in the Holocaust”

Dr. Zachary Mazur- Senior Historian at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, Warsaw.   

Anti-Semitic disinformation was a hallmark of the Nazi regime from its rise to power in 1933. During World War II, access to information could be the difference between life and death, especially for the Jews of Europe. This lecture will explore the methods that attempted to control Jews and non-Jews during the Holocaust and connect it to our own harrowing information environment.
