Description

Tan poster with Der Stürmer title on top and German text beneath it, and to the right. Includes caricature by Fips of a portly man with fishing rod with arms outstretched.

Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

Typical caricature of a Jew drawn by Philipp Rupprecht, also known as “Fips,” for Julius Streicher’s antisemitic tabloid Der Stürmer. These grotesque, often pornographic cartoons of Jewish stereotypes accompanied the propaganda Streicher disseminated, saturating the consciousness of Germans during the Third Reich, and contributing to the capacity of many Germans to accept the Nazi program. These drawings often ended - as this one does - with the statement that “The Jew is our misfortune. And without a solution to the Jewish question there is no salvation for mankind.” This one claims that Germans have experienced the Jew as having swindled them, taking everything they owned.
