Postcard from the Annual Conference of the Nazi Party – A Sticker Indicating the Destruction of the Great Synagogue of Nürnberg – Nürnberg, 1938
Scenic postcard depicting the Great Synagogue of Nürnberg (published by OHB) with a sticker mounted on it indicating the destruction of the synagogue. The postcard was sent from the conference of the Nazi party which took place in Nürnberg and bears a stamp of the conference [Nürnberg, 1938].
The postcard depicts the island of Schütt on the Pegnitz River, which crosses the city, with the dome of the Great Synagogue of Nürnberg in its center. On the dome, a round sticker was mounted with the inscription: "Was hier an dieser Stelle stand. Aus Nürnberg endlich ist verbannt" [What had stood in this place has finally been removed from Nürnberg]. On the back of the postcard appear the stamp of the conference of the Nazi Party of Nürnberg – "Parteitag Grossdeutchlands" – with three Swastika flags, a postmark (partly erased) and a short letter by a woman recalling she had seen Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, Hess and others (German).
The conference center of the Nazi party, where the conferences and parades of the party took place, was built in the city of Nürnberg. Already in August 1938, three months before Kristallnacht, as preparation for the conference that was about to take place in September, Julius Streicher ordered the destruction of the synagogue and the Jewish center near it, with the pretext that its sight harms the city's beauty.
Until the Nazi's rise to power, many scenic postcards depicted the synagogue as one of the central and most beautiful structures of the city.
