Description |
Propaganda poster by Gau Saarpfalz office, printed vertically in red and black ink on tan paper in Gothic script. The first three lines of the paragraph, the ninth line, and the appropriate days of viewing are in red ink. The remaining text, including the name Willi Kleine at the bottom, and a drawing of a man's face are printed in black ink. The drawing is on the upper left hand side and depicts a bald man with wrinkles, his mouth is sneering and his nose is very large, he is presumably Jewish. It reads, "…sein Ate mist mir Gift geschwangert. Das Reine stirbt an seinem kub- Des Guten tod hat stets sein Leben nur verlangert; Mord, Brand und Lunge ist ihm Gochgenulz! Rein Dolf liebt ihn! Seine Trufelsfratze nur zum Brechen reizt. Er ist nicht Mensch, nicht Geist, ein hollisch Tier, Das stets zum fang die krallen spreizt." Translated to, "His breath is impregnated with poison; the pure dies from his kiss; the death of the good steadily extended his life; murder, fire and a lie is a great delight for him! No nation loves him! His devil's face only urges to vomit. He is no human, no ghost, an infernal animal, always spreading his claws for a catch." |
