* The spread of the Jews in the territories of the German Reich and the victory of the conquering Third Reich - an antisemitic postcard showing the spread of the Jews in European countries, and in contrast, the German occupation of the same places in four stages described on maps from 1926 to 1938. The dividing lines between the various maps in the form of a swastika, to say how the Nazis managed to take over all the territories inhabited by Jews. On the back of the postcard is a salute to Firer "Wir danken unserem Fuhrer" - "We are grateful to our leader", and dated March 4, 1939 (about a week before the final conquest of Czechoslovakia by Nazi Germany).

* An antisemitic souvenir postcard from the exhibition "Der Ewige Jude" ['The Eternal Jew'], Bremen (Germany), February 1939. The postcard shows representatives from the exhibition describing how the Jews took over the German legal system in the form of famous Jewish jurists. On the back of the postcard are "Der Ewige Jude" stamps from the exhibition and the German Reich stamp.

The antisemitic exhibition "Der Ewige Jude" , on behalf of the propaganda office of the Nazi party, was displayed in Munich from November 1937 to January 1938, in the library of the German Museum. And later in other cities in Germany and was the largest exhibition of anti-Jewish exhibitions in the years before World War II. The exhibition featured large models of Jewish body parts: "Jewish eyes ..., the Jewish nose, the Jewish mouth, the lips, huge photographs of faces and physical gestures" typical of the race, or for example grotesque political figures such as Leo Trotsky. "Everything is presented in the most repulsive way". [From the Nazi SOPAD report written several weeks after the exhibition opened].

Both postcards in very good condition.
