Recently appointed as German chancellor, Adolf Hitler greets President Paul von Hindenburg in

Potsdam, Germany, on March 21, 1933. This pose was designed to project an image of Hitler as non-threatening to the established order. This particular image is from a popular postcard. The photo also

appeared widely in both the German and international press. Hitler appears in civilian dress, bowing in deference to the heavily decorated von

Hindenburg. The March 5, 1933, elections had conferred legitimacy on Hitler's leadership.

Public humiliation: "I am a defiler of the race." In this photograph, a young man who allegedly had illicit relations with a Jewish woman is marched

through the streets for public humiliation. Flanked by German police officers, he wears a sign that reads, "I am a defiler of the race." These events

were calculated to both punish the so-called offenders and to make a public example of them

as a deterrent to others who might not fully subscribe to Nazi racial theory. Norden, Germany,

July 1935.
