Inside the Vault on Thursday, October 7: World War II Propaganda with Professor Michael Neiberg
Posted by Gilder Lehrman Staff on Tuesday, 10/05/2021
Inside the Vault: Highlights from the Gilder Lehrman Collection is an online program that explores unique primary sources from the Gilder Lehrman Collection. From iconic historical treasures, such as the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and the Emancipation Proclamation, to personal letters that reveal the contributions of ordinary American citizens, each session investigates primary sources and features a discussion with expert historians and curators about the documents’ background, impact, and potential use in the classroom.
Join us on October 7, 2021, from 7 to 8 p.m. ET, as Professor Michael Neiberg from the US Army War College and Stacie Christensen, 2020 Idaho History Teacher of the Year, discuss World War II propaganda posters from the Gilder Lehrman Collection.
We will be exploring criteria for analyzing posters and diving into five specific posters:
- The Atlantic Charter
- Americans Will Always Fight for Liberty
- Caricature of a South American gaucho confronting Hitler and three Nazi officers
- Deadly by Autocar
- She’s Ready, Too
