Summary/Abstract: The topic of this paper is the propaganda efforts of the Anti-Masonic Exhibition and the collaborationist authorities in occupied Serbia at the time the exhibition was organized. Based on a secondary analysis of the literature, the introductory part is structured around the foundations of Nazi propaganda efforts. The second part of the paper deals with the propaganda activities of the collaborationist government in occupied Serbia and the beginnings of the preparations for the Anti-Masonic Exhibition. The collaborators disseminated propaganda similar to that of Nazi Germany. Through print media, radio, films, pseudoscientific publications, book publishing, and the organization of exhibitions, they aimed to spread Nazi ideas and "justify" cooperation with the occupiers. This exhibition, composed of various sections - primarily anti-Jewish, anti-Masonic, and anti-communist, is the largest propaganda project in occupied Serbia. Its goal was to dehumanize members of the Jewish community, Freemasons, and communists, emphasizing their interconnection and activities.
