Bidspirit auction | GERMAN ANTI-SEMITIC RESORT POSTCARD

GERMAN ANTI-SEMITIC RESORT POSTCARD - Postcard from the German seaside resort of Borkum, a notoriously anti-Semitic resort which prided itself on excluding Jews and widely advertised the fact. The color image shows a caricature of a large and wealthy Jewish family being ordered away from the ”Hotel on the Beach” by a bearded bellman as a woman with a parasol looks on. The caption reads: ”JEWS are not tolerated here!” A poem of sorts at right ”explains”, and concludes: ”...and the Cohn comes with his mom, He has to go out, he has to go out!...let Rosenthal and Levinsohn all go to Norderney! Because it's lovely on your beach...” Norderney was one of the few resorts left available for access to Jews. Excessively rare.
