Stereotypes and conspiracy theories against Jews, Roma, migrants, LGBTQIA+ or other groups are not new. During the Second World War, the antisemitic propaganda of the Nazis and their racist collaborators used stereotyping, false images, disinformation and conspiracy thinking to encourage hatred, with deadly consequences. The propaganda and lies foreshadowed the genocide. The exhibition exposes how the Nazi's false and manipulative imaging worked and continues to find expression today. The interactive exhibition challenges us to take action to unmask the lies that continue to divide and polarise our world. The exhibition was curated by Kazerne Dossin, in collaboration with the Arthur Langerman Archive for the Study of Visual Antisemitism Foundation (ALAVA) and the Center for Research on Antisemitism at the Technische Universität Berlin. The exhibition was supported by the Belgium Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Permanent Mission of Belgium to the United Nations.
