Issued in 1936 as the threat of Nazi terror against Jews in Germany continued to increase, thus creating mass immigration to Mandate Palestine culminating in the Fifth Aliyah. The poster reads, “The emigration of Jews of Germany and the rescue of their capital will be guaranteed only if, when purchasing German Marks you will demand the bank certificate, confirming that they are the rescued financial resources of the Jews of Germany.”
