Antisemitic leaflet
Description:
Antisemitic leaflet, published by Samoobrona Narodu (National Self-defense), Poznan. Cartoon depicting a Jew carrying a dead goose impaled by a hammer and sickle, followed by Red Army soldiers. Two Polish slaves drag a gallows emblazoned with a Jewish star on top. Signs: "Hunger," "Death," "Ruins." "POLISH WORKER AND PEASANTS! Do not trust the Jewish promises, for they are all lies, falsehood and hypocrisy… The Jew is not your defender! He is a traitor, a fomenter of fratricidal skirmishes and revolutions, from which he draws profits while you suffer hunger, poverty, and slavery!… We are warning you against the Jew before it is too late… Beware not to put the hangman’s rope on your neck, as so many others have. Stay away from the Jew!!!"
