Question

In august of 1936, why do you think they removed the anti-Jewish posters and propaganda in Berlin during the Olympics

Answer 1

Answer:

The anti-Jewish posters and propaganda were removed to camouflage German Nazi's racist policies and to present an image of a peaceful and tolerant Germany to the world.

Explanation:

The 1936 Olympics in Berlin was given to Germany by the International Olympic Committee in 1931. The summer Olympics of 1936 was also referred to as the Nazi Olympics.

Despite Germany's discriminatory actions and attitudes against the Jews, this Olympics was used as a chance to present to the world the peaceful nature of Germany. Even after 'refusing' Jewish athletes to be part of the sporting event, being excluded because of their "Jewish" identity, Germany made the event as a chance to present its propaganda of an 'all-inclusive’, tolerant, and 'open' nation. And even though the propaganda against the Jews was still ongoing and even more aggressive, posters depicting discriminating messages and images against the Jews were removed so that the world 'may' see a new Germany, a tolerant and peaceful Germany.
