Julius Streicher (12 February 1885 – 16 October 1946) was a member of the Nazi Party.
He was the founder and publisher of the virulently antisemitic newspaper Der Stürmer, which became a central element of the Nazi propaganda machine.
His publishing firm also released three antisemitic books for children, including the 1938 Der Giftpilz (translated into English as The Toadstool or The Poisonous Mushroom), one of the most widespread pieces of propaganda, which warned about the supposed dangers Jews posed by using the metaphor of an attractive yet deadly mushroom.
The publishing firm was financially very successful and made Streicher a multi-millionaire.
At the end of the war, Streicher was convicted of crimes against humanity in the Nuremberg trials and was executed.
