Lot 290:
Rare official booklet of the "Der Ewige Jude" anti-Semitic exhibition in Germany (The Eternal Jew) printed in 1938. The Eternal Jew (Der ewige Jude) was the title of an exhibition of degenerate art (entertain Kunst) displayed at the Library of the German Museum in Munich from 8 November 1937 to 31 January 1938. The actual displays, with photographs and caricatures, focused on antisemitic canards in presenting the Jewish supposed attempts at ‘Bolshevism’ Nazi Germany. It was best exemplified in the exhibition poster presenting an ‘eastern’ Jew wearing a caftan and holding gold coins in one hand and a whip in the other. The exhibition attracted 412,300 visitors, over 5,000 per day.After the exhibition ended in Munich, it was displayed in Vienna from 2 August until 23 October 1938 and subsequently in Berlin from 12 November 1938 until 31 January 1939.This book shows many pictures of Jews in embarrasing situations, trying to caricature them and show them as subhuman, with deformities and physical characteristics that make them easily identificable. The whole book is a big anti-Semitic propaganda example conceived by the sick mind of Dr. Goebbels, the minister of propaganda of the III Reich.Booklets like this are considered amongst the most anti-Semitic publications made in history and most of them were destroyed after the war. Only few survirved. This one is complete and with minor damage to the cover. Here you have a great chance to get an original one.******** Shipping from our office in Europe*********
