Antisemite Julius Streicher: Abusing Christian Imagery to Dehumanize Jews

Prof. John Michalczyk will speak on his forthcoming book, Julius Streicher–Tainted Images, Stolen Lives: The Anti-Semitic Tabloid "Der Stürmer" and Children's Readers, which comes at a time in our fragile society as we experience a rise in anti-Semitic bias, hatred, and violence. The hypocritical Nazi Jew-hater, a major propagandist, manipulated Christian images to brainwash the German public into despising Jews, aiding and abetting their annihilation in the Shoah.

John Michalczyk, Ph.D. is Professor and Director of Film Studies at Boston College. His numerous books and documentary films deal with historical events such as World War II and the Holocaust, as well as themes of conflict resolution, moral compromises, and social justice. He has been teaching at Boston College since 1974.
