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.
