Pour les juifs le droit de vivre : Pour nous, le droit de crever - "Jews have the right to live and we have the right to die" - an anti-Semitic poster depicting Jewish control in all fields of French society - an illustration of a Christian cemetery showing 200,000 dead in the years 1939-40, opposed to the flourishing of the Jews as it appears in the French press. On the upper right is the figure of the "spokesman of international Jewry" Bernard Lecache (founder of the League Against Anti-Semitism). Paris, 1940.

On the back of the poster, under the title: MAISON FRANCE 1936 - the French House 1936, is a long list of Jews occupying senior positions in all fields of French society. Below is an anti-Semitic caption: "This was the victory of international Jewry! In France, the control of public life, finances, the national education and information was a done deal...the Jews must be expelled from the national and European community."

31x24 cm. Fold marks. Condition Good.
