"Stand Guard... Be aware" - An Antisemitic Poster from the Grand Exhibition in Occupied Belgrade. Serbia, 1941
An Antisemitic Poster Issued in Nazi-Occupied Serbia in the Fall of 1941 as Part of the Grand Anti-Freemasonry Exhibition in Belgrade, Held from October 22, 1941, to January 19, 1942. Belgrade, 1941.
A grotesque caricature of a large Jewish man dressed in traditional Eastern European attire, pulling by the neck six upper-class men. The message conveyed is that Jews, through financial market manipulations, maintain a stranglehold on the nation's financial resources. The exhibition focused on the alleged Jewish-Communist-Freemason conspiracy to achieve world domination, intending to fuel hatred against groups that shared opposition to Nazi Germany. At the top of the poster, the phrase "Stand Guard... Be aware" appears.
Yugoslavia was dismantled by the Axis powers in April 1941. Germany annexed most of Slovenia and placed Serbia under military occupation. The exhibition was organized by the Serbian puppet government in collaboration with the German occupiers.
See an identical item in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, catalog number 2007.351.1.
69x48 cm. In the lower-left corner, the code: Pr. Bg. L/9/4/149/x5 appears. The poster is mounted on thick backing paper for display and preservation. Light fold marks. Good condition.
