Fragility of Democracy Session 5 - "Words That Wound"

Join us for the fifth session of the Fragility of Democracy workshop series.

Session 5 – Words That Wound: Propaganda and the Power to Dehumanize

Propaganda did not just change minds. It changed what people saw.
This session explores how media, posters, and radio shaped public perception, convincing millions that cruelty was patriotism. Through survivor reflections, we uncover how lies were normalized and why truth-telling remains the foundation of freedom.
Key Takeaway: A free society depends on an informed one.
