A hand-printed antisemitic pamphlet that was published in France in the 1930s with the rise of anti-Semitism Towards World War II, warning French society of the Jew's fraud and his takeover of the local economy. Accompanied by large antisemitic illustrations depicting the Jew with the long nose, the covets money, and threatening to collapse the 'enlightened' French society.

The illustrator presents one in front of the other, the ugly, domineering and greedy Jew, in front of characters from the French nation, whose peace is threatened by him - accompanied by antisemitic captions against the Jews. The painting that opens the leaflet shows the fat and ugly Jew with the long nose and stereotypical face with a warning to the French nation: "Beware of the Jew, and of his commercial promises that have no cover." The next page depicts an ugly Jew against a background of bags of French rice and grain through which he gets rich, the author tries to emphasize the duplicity of the Jew in the antisemitic caption that accompanies the painting: "Who controls the black market? The Jew. A Jew is not allowed to eat pork, but for profit he will raise pigs happily" and more. In those years these cartoons also appeared on postcards distributed among the French population.

[4] p. Handwritten caption from 1941 at the top of the title page. Good condition.
