What strategies were used to make the Holocaust appeal to the average German?

First of all, the average German wasn't told the straight facts of what was going on at all. They were told that the Jews were being "resettled in Eastern Europe". Lots of people who lived within walking distance of concentration camps didn't really know what was going on. (The Holocaust was actually "top secret").
As far as convincing the average German to discriminate against the Jews, remember the historical context. Germany had gone into WWI thinking they'd win it by Christmas, and come out in a huge depression, loaded with debt and blame for WWI. In that sort of situation, a scapegoat is pretty easily accepted. If that wasn't enough, it was pretty dangerous to stand up for the Jews-- you could easily end up in a similar position. One would probably need to be very firmly convicted to stand up against what was going on, because at the time it certainly seemed fishy, but seeming fishy is a pretty tough thing to give your life for.

What was hitlers view of propaganda?
Hitler had many strategies for propaganda. The foundation of his ideas were written in his autobiography Mein Kampf. He had many principles for his propaganda. Among these principles were that propaganda needed to appeal to the masses (or to the majority of the people) and that the same few ideas needed to be reiterated over and over again. Hitler used propaganda in every way imaginable and it helped that they invention of the radio and television had come about. Hitler made thousands of speeches. There were also posters, movies, songs, organizations, etc. Hitler also used propaganda especially on the German youth, because he knew they were the future of Germany. Hitler could therefore keep Nazi principles by cementing them in the youth. Hitler also used anti-Semitic propaganda which was propaganda against the Jewish people. This propaganda turned the German people against the Jews and allowed to Holocaust to be as effective for Hitler as it was (and as tragic for the rest of the world). Hitler's strategies were very effective and helped him to fool the entire world.
