Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

This cover with Jewish Star of David superimposed upon a caricatured, particularly repulsive “Jewish” face commonly used on Julius Streicher’s tabloid products and drawings, here on regular mail with a message about the importance of resolving the “Jewish question,” has clearly resonated with the German public.
