The National WWII Museum today announced a new special exhibition: State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda, a traveling exhibition from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. The exhibition, which opens to the public on January 27, explores how the Nazi propaganda machine used biased information to sway public opinion in the years leading up to and during World War II. Organized chronologically, the exhibition is a rich multimedia experience that examines the definition of propaganda, how it operates, why it works and why it is so important to protect ourselves from its dangers.
The National WWII Museum has appointed Robert M. Citino, PhD, a highly regarded WWII scholar and educator, to the position of Samuel Zemurray Stone Senior Historian. Citino comes to the Museum following academic postings at the University of North Texas, Eastern Michigan University, Lake Erie College, the US Military Academy and the US Army War College. In addition to publishing nine books and myriad articles on World War II and other 20th century military subjects, Citino has been a regular speaker at the Museum’s International Conference on World War II and offered lectures during the institution’s D-Day 70th anniversary cruise.
