    The Nazi propaganda about the Jews circulated in WW2 was mainly to help persuade other non- Jew community members that the Jews, as a community of people, were dangerous, destructive, greedy, liars, who where ultimately responsible for the political and economic state of Germany post WW1. 

    The effects of this propaganda can be seen through study of the events of the Holocaust. Non- Jew Germans turned on their Jewish neighbors and allowed the Nazi political party to commit mass genocide, the Jews of Europe being their victims.  

    Google images of "Nazi anti-jewish propaganda" If you read some of the cartoons that are available  you will see the extremely cruel stereotypes that were spread as truth through these means.
