Description
"Liberators." Anti-Semitic, anti-American propoganda poster mocking the "virtues" of Europe's soon-to-be liberators. Depicting a bizarre creature whose body is formed of various images of American "culture" including: the Ku Klux Klan, a Native American posing as Miss America, two African-Americans dancing above an inscription "Jitterbug- Triumph of Civilization", a Jew clutching a bag of money, a bloody bomb. The monster modestly covers itself with a loincloth featuring the Star of David.
summary
A striking document representing the anti-American, anti-Jewish sentiment pervasive in Europe in the final year of World War II.
