Poisonous Mushroom
Describing propaganda: In the short children story book "The Poisonous Mushroom," a mother and her child are picking up mushrooms from a field. The kid just happens to come across some poisonous mushrooms, the mother then explains to him that the poisonous mushrooms are like people ( Jews). She tells the kid that one single mushroom is very dangerous. She then starts scaring the child saying that the mushrooms are bad for the world, that they are not trust worthy ect.
Message of The Propaganda: The message that the mom is trying to give her kid is that this poisonous mushrooms (Jews) are bad for everyone (non Jew). Also, she tells the child that he cant trust the Jews and that he must be careful because, sometimes you can't tell they are bad.
Technique 1; Fear: In this story it shows that the mom is trying to scare the little kid, and since is a children book the author is trying to scare every kid that reads it. I also think is showing fear because in the short story it kept repeating that one mushroom could kill a whole family. I don't know but if I was reading that book and new Jews were all over the place I would be scared. Also I noticed that in the story it said " they are the DEVIL in human form" and that's just scary.
Technique 2; Make it Big: In this story they are trying to make it big and alert the world of 'how dangerous one single Jew could be". Also I think they were trying to make it big because, the mom says " Jews problems affect the destiny of all of us". It also said that one Jews could destroy a whole village, I think this is a lie how could a single Jew destroy something big, I mean come on he must at least have help from someone else.
