"The Death of Judaism!" - Cigarette Box of a German Soldier - Shocking Evidence of Murderous Anti-Semitism - World War II
Cigarette box of a German soldier. On the observe side of the lid, a German inscription: "Tod Der Judentum!" [The Death of Judaism!"]. Around it there is an engraving of a strong hand, with a swastika on it, sent forward. The hand is grasping the head of a snake and is strangling it to death. On the body of the snake, there are a Star-of-David, which symbolizes Judaism, and a sickle and sword, symbolizing communism and the USSR.
The German soldier, the owner of the box, artistically engraved his hatred, and the hatred of the German nation, of the Jews and his desire to destroy them.
On the reverse side of the lid, the name of the store: "Zigarren-Haus, W. Pape, SchÃnhauser Allee 135, Manzfernsprecher".
11x7 cm.
Condition: Good. Slightly worn.
