Julius Streicher, who was convicted of crimes against humanity during the Nuremberg trials, was the publisher of Der Stürmer, a tabloid newspaper renowned for its anti-Semitism and use as a propaganda tool for the Nazi party. Streicher and his anti-Semitic publications, which included three children’s books, are the subject of a new book by longtime Boston College Professor John Michalczyk. In Julius Streicher – Tainted Images, Stolen Lives: The Anti-Semitic Tabloid ‘Der Stürmer’ and Children’s Readers (De Gruyter Oldenbourg, 2025), Michalczyk focuses on Streicher’s sordid, and at times semi-pornographic, visual imagery, placing these works in historical, aesthetic, religious, and political context. According to Michalczyk, this study of Streicher and his influential visual propaganda is timely, given the rise in anti-Semitism, spread of disinformation on social media, and dissemination of messages of hate online. Michalczyk, the director of Film Studies at BC, is known for his numerous books and documentary films about World War II and the Holocaust, as well as others on the themes of conflict resolution, moral compromises, and social justice.
