Awake America

 

Nazi Propaganda Flyer – “Awake America”



Date: 1934

Medium: Printed flyer

Location: Germany (intended for U.S. distribution)

Collection: Yavneh Klos Collection, Antisemitism Archive

This 8.5" x 11" flyer, titled “Awake America”, was a product of Nazi propaganda designed to stoke antisemitic sentiment in the United States. With inflammatory English-language text accusing Jews of media control and communism, it aimed to rally American nativists against Jewish communities. The flyer is marked by religious imagery and fear-mongering rhetoric (such as the antisemitic myth of the Deicide, that the Jews killed Jesus); it illustrates the global reach of Nazi ideology and the attempts to destabilize democratic societies abroad.
