"The Lion in the pit of the Jews" - Antisemitic Issue - Berlin 1937 - Color illustrations

Issue of the illustrated anti-Semitic journal Kladderadatsch - [a nonsense cartoon world, such as "Kishkush" in Hebrew], Berlin, December 5, 1937.

The title page has a particularly stingy anti-Semitic cartoon. Underneath it is the anti-Semitic caption: "Palestine - Der Löwe in Danielsgrub", Palestine - The Lion in the Daniel 's pit - the "poor" "lion" fell to the Jewish pit (named after Daniel the Prophet who fell into the Lion's Pit - in the book of Daniel). The illustrator has "replaced" the roles, supposedly the Jews are so powerful and frightening that they threaten the lion king of the animals, while the "strong" lion is the poor scared of the Jews in Palestine.

In the interior pages, further anti-Semitic cartoons, at one, Jews in the wine bar deal with espionage and the discovery of enemy secrets. In another cartoon entitled:"The Armament Madness", supposedly the sick earth, and one of the diseases is the struggles between Jews and Arabs - on the left is an Arab beating a Jew. Another cartoon in which the 'informant' Jews were caught on a man hiding weapons, and more.
