A booklet that was printed during the third Reich and distributed for free in Holland as part of the anti-Semite propaganda by the S.S. commander Paul Kreuzner when Holland was conquered by the Nazis. The booklet contains 46 stereotypical pictures slandering the Jews by depicting their bizarre religious customs, their primitiveness and lack of hygiene. It uses the terminology of Julius Streicher regarding the Jews economically taking over the world. Some of the pictures were taken from the book 'A Vanished World' by Roman Vishniac and crudely edited. The booklet was designated to prepare the public opinion against the Jews of Holland.
Hans Paul Kreuzner (1904-1944) was a member of the Nazi party already in 1930. He was close to the Ministry of Propaganda of Joseph Goebbels and adopted the name Hans Paul Graf von Monts and the title "Graf" in order to sound aristocrat. During the war, he was appointed Auberstomfuhrer and was responsible for the provisions to the front. Kruezner drove luxury cars and lived hedonic life. After being caught by the Nazi for corruption, he committed suicide in 1944, before his trial began.
63 pp. 46 black-and-white pictures.
