description The phenomenon of ethnotrauma being a consequence of an impact of devastating Nazi and racist propaganda is considered in the article. The article deals with propaganda ideologemes and practices directed at the formation of the enemy image in public consciousness under totalitarian regimes that pursue militaristic and racist goals. Nazi state ideology is chosen as a historic example of creating the enemy image in the media and art. Its success was partly explained by manipulation of public consciousness where the image of the external enemy as the main reason of national misery and economic difficulties was embedded. The reasons for the emergence of the ethnotrauma phenomenon in Germany in the 1920-ies as well as the main directions of the development of the myth of "the knife in the back of Nazis" are defined in the article. The main attention in the article is paid to antisemitism and mythologi-zation of the enemy image. At the beginning of the work a brief historical background about the history of anti-Judaism and antisemitism that explains why anti-Jewish policy of the Third Reich was rapidly accepted by the masses is given. The mythologization of ethnotrauma in National Socialist Germany is considered by examples of particular historic sources: newspapers, public speeches of politicians, video news magazines and feature ilms. Various means of the mass propaganda translation are taken for analysis in order to compare methods used to construct the enemy image, to provide insight into language tendencies and the formation of ideologemes and to prove that agitation and propaganda of Nazis was complex. The extracts of A. Hitler's and J. Goebbels's speeches, citations from materials of the press organ of NSDAP "Volkischer Beobachter", descriptions of feature ("Hitlerjunge Quex", "Jud SuR") and documentary ("The Eternal Jew") films and also news stories (about the condition of the army and about Polish Jews) are provided in the research.
