The Jew was hanged on the swastika - the Le Cri de Paris issue, April 1933

The French Le Cri de Paris issue dated April 22, 1933. At the title page is a large anti-Semitic cartoon by JEAN BOUTIER in which Jesus is supposedly looking at the cross. Instead of the original cross on which Jesus was supposedly crucified, a swastika now appears, bearing a Jew. In the background, smoke of war.

The cartoon was published only two and a half months after Hitler's rise to power and the rise of Nazism. The saying supposedly attributed to Jesus reads: Je n'ai pas voulu cela - "I did not mean that", And its supposed purpose is to disconnect the link between the multi-year anti-Semitic Christian influence and Nazi anti-Semitic ideology. [For example, see extensively about Christian sources that served as an ideological pillar for Nazism - "Peace, an Arab cartoon" by Aryeh Stuv, p. 53 and later: "Nazism created a radical synthesis between the Christian hatred of the Jews and the anti-Semitism of the Enlightenment era. From Christianity, Nazism took the The ontological guilt of the original sin inherent in Judaism as a nation ... from European rationalism gathered all the "Jewish" traits and made them a hereditary, genetically inherited complex ...].

Le Cri de Paris which means 'Protest of Paris' is an illustrated French political magazine founded by Alexander Nathanenson in 1897. The magazine reviewed news, political articles and satire. At the time of the Dreyfus affair, he took a middle line, and from time to time pro Dreyfus crtoons were published, which led to a decline in his popularity with the crowd, and brought him back to a more rigid line. Over the years, the magazine operated under strict censorship. It ceased to exist in 1940.
