Antisemitic postcards - Nazi Germany - Six antisemitic postcards - Nazi Germany - some from the antisemitic exhibition “The Eternal Jew”, Germany and Austria, 1930s. “ Mander s'ischt Zeit!” (“People, the time has come!”) - an infamous antisemitic Nazi propaganda postcard from the period of the “Anschluss” (the annexation of Austria to Germany) in 1938. Signed on the reverse with the stamp of the Der Ewige Jude (“The Eternal Jew”) exhibition in Vienna - Jews and Austrian government officials headed by Kurt von Schuschnigg (the last Chancellor of Austria before the “Anschluss”) fleeing in panic before the approaching swastika flags. “People, the time has come!” is a historic phrase attributed to Andreas Hofer, an Austrian national hero who fought against Napoleon. The Nazis made cynical use of this phrase to imply that the time had come to “purify” Austria of Jews and opponents of the regime. Postcard depicting the Jewish attempt to take control of Germany through the exposure of an “Eastern” Jew - an “Ostjude” wearing a caftan and holding gold coins in one hand and a whip in the other. Under his arm is a map of the world bearing the hammer and sickle emblem. Stamped on the reverse at the Der Ewige Jude (“The Eternal Jew”) exhibition in Munich, 1937. On the front, the letters forming the name of the exhibition were designed in a typeface resembling Hebrew letters. “The Jew pulls the strings and controls East and West” - a Jew with stereotypical facial features holding two figures in his hands - one representing capitalism/the Western democracies, the other representing communism/the Soviet Union, symbolized by the “hammer and sickle” she is holding. In his mouth appears the phrase in three languages: “I am with you, comrades!” (in the upper right corner appears the English inscription “Branch Office Pittsburgh, Pa, ” supposedly indicating a branch office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - an attempt by German propaganda to present the caricature as though it originated in the United States, in order to lend it the appearance of an “inside revelation”). Kleine Cohn - “The Little Cohen” postcard - the infamous character used by antisemitic propagandists against the Jews. “The Little Cohen” was a stereotypical nickname given to Jews in Germany, primarily during the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Postcard depicting a Jew with stereotypical facial features and the inscription: “Er bot ein Roß Du kaufst nen Klepper der Jude ist der schlimmste Nepper” - “He promised a horse (a noble steed), you bought an old nag (a wreck); the Jew is the worst swindler of all.” The use of the word “Nepper” (swindler/conman) was intended to reinforce the antisemitic image of the Jew as one engaged in commercial deceit, particularly in the horse trade, which was widespread. On the reverse appears a red stamp issued to mark the annexation of the Sudetenland region from Czechoslovakia to Germany: “Wir haben Euch getragen, nun sind wir frei und bleiben frei!” - “We carried you [the Jews], now we are free and shall remain free!” Antisemitic postcard published by the weekly periodical “Die Langsame Bewegung” - Generalappell bei den Reichsbananen (“General Roll Call among the Bananas of the Reich”), mocking Jewish soldiers. Overall very good condition.
