A white postcard with an illustration of a fat man in a suit wearing glasses and a hat over a wooden bar.

Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

To further promote Nazi antisemitic objectives, a travelling exhibition named “Der Ewige Jude” ("The Eternal Jew") was created in 1937. It appeared in five cities during the following eighteen months. The exhibition depicted Jews - their clothes, facial characteristics, cultural items and art - in every conceivable negative and unfavorable way, and markedly “degenerate” in contrast to the Nazi aryan ideal. This antisemitic postcard bears the red cachet "Zugelassen fuer Austellung: Der ewige Jude."
