Description

German text. 71 illustrated plates, most multicolor. Very clean condition

summary

The illustrated placards in this very scarce portfolio were intended for school-room instruction. Through the most vivid presentation, students would imbibe the rabid Nazi theories of race, with its pseudo-scientific basis in modern genetics. No doubt due to the insiduous pedagogic tools such as this portfolio, by the time Hitler unleashed the Final Solution, the belief that Jews were racially inferior was pandemic throughout German society
