Holocaust Museum LA will present “Inside the Acid-Free Box: Symbols of Hate and the Nazi Propaganda Machine” on Tuesday, Jan. 19, at 4 p.m. This virtual viewing of the museum’s archives will explore the Nazi’s use of the swastika, the salute, the Nazi eagle and the SS skull and crossbones to promote a notion of racially pure “Aryan” people, while simultaneously excluding and ostracizing groups they viewed as inferior.
Led by Jordanna Gessler, the museum’s vice president of education and exhibits, and Christie Jovanovic, collection manager, the January installment of the exclusive series will offer an in-depth look at Nazi symbols that were either perverted or by design came to represent hate, racism and anti-Semitism. Gessler and Jovanovic will examine the carefully crafted propaganda used to push forward the radical Nazi agenda and create Hitler’s cult of personality.
A minimum $12 donation is requested and a link to the tour will be provided upon registration.
