    Picture is evoked o raise memories of New Years Eve in Cologne due to the use as meme. It is photoshoped and not a Cologne picture.
    Original picture shows Lara Logan, the CBS reporter who was sexually assaulted by a mob in Cairo's Tahrir Square (see http://abcnews.go.com/Health/MindMoodNews/cbs-reporter-lara-logan-opens-tahrir-square-assault/story?id=13492964).
    Logans head is cut off in the propaganda pic, instead of it you see the one of glamour model Danica Thrall (see http://www.haz.de/Nachrichten/Politik/Deutschland-Welt/AfD-hetzt-mit-gefaelschtem-Foto-im-Internet (sorry; German language).

    To me, the image offensively tries to change people's views about migrants in a negative way. Further, it's used by the right wing populist party AfD as a way to gain votes in the parlamentary election which shows why this image contains a political intention and can therefore be considered as an example for propaganda.

    I think this picture tries to evoke negative emotions towards immigrants, because it recalls the memories of an event from the new years night, when a big group of men (presumably refugees) groped women at the central station cologne. It is not safe to say, if this picture is from that night and if it is representative for the situation. It tries to evoke negative emotions towards immigrants, even though not all of them show this kind of behaviour.

    Hier wird den Wählern vor Augen geführt, was in der Silvesternacht in Köln 2015 passiert ist. Sie sollen sich noch mal an dieses Ereignis erinnern (Wiederholung) und wütend (Emotionen) sein, um bei den Wahlen die AFD zu bevorzugen. Die Partei schürt Ängste vor einer Personengruppe, die auf dem Plakat abgebildet ist, nämlich vor Flüchtlingen.
