Through anti-Semitic propaganda and actions such as the November pogroms of 1938, he ideologically prepared the deportation and subsequent extermination of Jews and other minorities, making him one of the decisive pioneers of the Holocaust. His notorious Sports Palace speech of February 1943, in which he called on the population to " total war ", is an example of the manipulation of the population.
He also published numerous leading articles in leading newspapers, which were also read on the radio. During the Second World War, Goebbels himself was responsible for the newsreel, which was a central medium of domestic propaganda. As Reich Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda and President of the Reich Chamber of Culture, Goebbels held two key positions in Germany from 1933 to 1945 for the management of the press, radio and film as well as other cultural activities.īy combining demagogic rhetoric, systematically choreographed mass events and the effective use of modern technology for propaganda purposes, in particular the use of film and radio, Joseph Goebbels succeeded in indoctrinating large parts of the German people for National Socialism and defaming Jews and communists. As Gauleiter of Berlin from 1926 and as Reich Propaganda Leader from 1930, he played a major role in the rise of the NSDAP in the final phase of the Weimar Republic.
