The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05.

Definition:
systematic manipulation of public opinion, generally by the
use of symbols such as flags, monuments, oratory, and
publications. Modern propaganda is distinguished from
other forms of communication in that it is consciously
and deliberately used to influence group attitudes; all
other functions are secondary. Thus, almost any attempt
to sway public opinion, including lobbying, commercial advertising, and missionary work, can be broadly construed
as propaganda. Generally, however, the term is restricted
to the manipulation of political beliefs.

Is this propaganda? Patriotism
Food For Thought from: Kitty Hart "The democratic countries didn't want to listen. They must listen now. Those of us who survived have a duty to those who died. They are not here to speak: we must speak for them... It is important to combat the monthly propaganda of lies which could lead to another war of Nazism in Europe and even in America. Another Holocaust. And just as doubters sneer in indifference, the indifference of civilized countries before the war, during the war, and now. ....It could have happened anywhere. It still can happen anywhere if the conditions are right."
