4. Joseph Goebbels “The Minister of Propaganda”
The Mastermind behind the Nazi Propaganda Campaign
This photo was taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt , a Jew, at the League of Nations conference in Like other correspondents, he was there to cover the news — and as a photographer, he was there to take pictures, which is exactly what he did.
Like many other German and Austrian Jews, he fled the Nazi threat in the mid-1930s, and worked as a journalist throughout out Europe.
This picture was taken while Goebbels was looking at someone beyond Eisenstaedt’s left shoulder.

5. From Goebbels, With Love… This picture was taken just moments later, when he is told by his interpreter that Eisenstaedt was a Jew.
Eisenstaedt said, “In 1933, I traveled to Lausanne and Geneva for the fifteenth session of the League of Nations.  There, sitting in the hotel garden, was Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s minister of propaganda.  He smiles, but not at me.  He was looking at someone to my left…. Suddenly he spotted me and I snapped him.  His expression changed.  Here are the eyes of hate. Was I an enemy?  Behind him is his private secretary, Walter Naumann, with the goatee, and Hitler’s interpreter, Dr. Paul Schmidt…”
At another point, Eisenstaedt noted that “this picture could be titled, ‘From Goebbels With Love.’ When I went up to him in the garden of the hotel, he looked at me with hateful eyes and waited for me to wither. But I didn’t wither.”
As the head of the Reich agency that controlled news outlets, literature, music, theater — in effect, every aspect of German culture — Goebbels went on to spread his singular brand of anti-Semitic lunacy for 12 more years after Eisenstaedt made his riveting portrait. A master of psychological manipulation and one of the earliest propagandists to recognize the enormous role that radio could play in controlling mass populations, Goebbels pushed the genocidal National Socialist agenda with the vehemence of a true believer.
