Nazi Wooden Bulletin Board with Antisemitic Notices. Germany, 1920s.
At the top of the board is an aluminum relief of the German eagle. The board features three prominent antisemitic notices: Right Side Notice:
Title: “Wir Juden lieben unser Vaterland – Wir Juden wollen Deutsche sein” – “We Jews love our homeland – We Jews want to be Germans.”
The text criticizes and rejects Jewish loyalty to Germany, alleging a conspiracy involving tens of thousands of influential Jews in Germany who are members of the secret global society “Alliance Israelite Universum.” It accuses these so-called “ancient sons of Judah” of anticipating Germany’s defeat. The notice ends with a warning to Germans: “Germans, do not let Jewish accusations mislead you… Think of the red oath!” It concludes with a call to join the antisemitic organization “Deutschen Schutz- und Trutz-Bund” (German Defense and Resistance League).
Center Notice:
Title: “Wohin Ihr fasst, Ihr werdet Juden fassen!” – “Wherever you look, you will find Jews!” This antisemitic text claims:
“Who were the biggest price gougers during the war? The Jews!”
“Who engages in the most ruthless black-market trade? The Jews!”
“Who constantly drives the people into poverty? The Jews!”
The notice ends with a rallying cry: “Germans! Free yourselves from Jewish rule!” and calls on German men and women to unite under the “Deutschen Schutz- und Trutz-Bund”, an antisemitic organization that promoted propaganda and sought to isolate Jews from German society, particularly in the aftermath of World War I.
Left Side Notice: Title: “Durch Volksabstimmung” – “By Referendum”
The text demands a referendum to decide whether further immigration of Jewish people from Eastern Europe should be allowed, claiming their foreign “way of life” poses an economic and cultural threat. The text emphasizes:
“German land must remain the home and fatherland of the German people.”
It ends with the slogan: “Germany for the Germans!” and includes a blank table for individuals to sign in support of the proposed referendum.
The board is made of thick wood with an iron chain for hanging. Dimensions: 47×34 cm. Condition: Minor cracks, good condition.
