A-Bé-Cé-Daire a l'usage des petits enfants - "For use by young children who are learning to read and adults who do not yet understand French ..." - Antisemitic publication on behalf of the Vichy government - "basic" antisemitic definitions in the order of the A-B. Antisemitic illustrations by Mars-Strick, published by G. Mazeyrie, Paris, [1941].

A propaganda pamphlet issued by the French government of Vichy. Each page features cartoons against the Jews accompanied by antisemitic sentences that open with one of the A - B order letters, explaining "basic concepts" that present the Jews as collaborators with the Americans and the British against the French interest. For example, the letter Y under the heading: "The Last Defenders of the Golden Calf" depicted two Jews in stereotypical faces looking at a Normady ship (a symbolic loot of the area to be conquered), and in the background an illustration of the Statue of Liberty holding the seven-branched Jewish lamp in his hands. The letter O shows an illustration of the Sieg Heil and the caption in support of cooperation with Hitler: "But let's follow our marshal. / Offer our loyal support. / In his call, without fail, / We answer: Yes! It's for France!", And in the other pages.

Between 1941 and 1943, Vichy's French government published four antisemitic publications promoting pro-Nazi policies against the Jews. This booklet is one of them.
