Description
Each linen-backed
summary
Savage colored posters with poisonous messages in Serbo-Croat. Issued in connection with an anti-Masonic / anti-Semitic exhibition held in Belgrade, October, 1941 - January, 1942.
The images on the posters were inspired by the “The Eternal Jew” exhibitions held in Munich and Vienna, 1937-39. The posters here give a sense of the flavor of the Belgrade exhibition and the theme of Jewish domination. They seek to portray Judaism as the source of world evil and advocate the humiliation and violent subjugation of Jews. Indeed Serbian newspapers praised the exhibition, proclaiming that Jews were the ancient enemies of the Serbian people and that Serbs should not wait for the Germans to begin the extermination of the Jews in Serbia.
Sizes range from: 15 X 22 inches to 19 x 28 inches.
