FIELD TRIP EXPERIENCE
JANUARY 27 – MAY 25, 2017
The National WWII Museum offers an engaging field trip experience exploring the special exhibition State of
Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda, on loan from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
This immersive experience will help students understand how the Nazi propaganda machine used biased information
to sway public opinion during World War II. Students will examine the definition of propaganda, how it operates,
why it works, and how important it is to protect ourselves from its dangers.
The field trip will consist of two 45-minute participatory segments. The first is in the exhibit gallery, where
students will explore the images of Nazi propaganda. The second takes place in our classroom, where students
will examine how propaganda impacts people and what they can do to recognize propaganda today.
This field trip is 90 minutes in length, has a 60-student capacity, and is available Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday mornings.
