Some scholars caution that there are limits to the power of propaganda; they
think it succeeds not because it persuades the public to believe an entirely new
set of ideas but because it expresses beliefs people already hold. scholar daniel
goldhagen writes: “no man, [no] hitler, no matter how powerful he is, can
move people against their hopes and desires. hitler, as powerful a figure as he
was, as charismatic as he was, could never have accomplished this (the
holocaust] had there not been tens of thousands, indeed hundreds of
thousands of ordinary germans who were willing to him.” do you agree?
would people have rejected nazi propaganda if they did not already share, to
some extent, the beliefs it communicated?
