A photograph of a puppet in the form of a Jew hanging on the rope of a street lamp. [Poland 1940]


A photograph of a puppet in the form of a Jew hanging on a lantern rope on the street of a city in Poland, depicted on the back in handwriting - Poland 1940.


Representatives of such antisemites were usually photographed by private individuals. German citizens photographed events and objects that expressed the growing anti-Semitism: antisemitic demonstrations, signs, graffiti and more. An example of this was folk carnival photography included in German folklore. At the carnivals there was a parade of masked people and various exhibitors. After the Nazis came to power, costumes and performances of an antisemitic nature began to appear at the carnivals, and more than once a doll could be seen in the form of a Jew hanging on the street rope, reflecting the malicious intentions of the Nazis.

See examples of this phenomenon in 'Flashes of Memory - Photography during the Holocaust', Yad Vashem Publishing 2018, p. 46 onwards.
