Julius Streicher (February 12, 1885 – October 16, 1946) was a member of the Nazi Party and head of the Anti-Semitic newspaper Der Sturmer. He was executed at the Nuremberg trials for the incitement of hate. Streicher's propaganda dehumanized Jews and made people turn on them. He was the only Nazi at Nuremberg to shout "Heil Hitler" when getting executed.
