Offered for sale is an excellent copy of the
EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL 1938 ANTI-SEMITIC PHOTO BOOK
‘DER EWIGE JUDE’
(THE ETERNAL JEW)
Der Ewige Jude (The Eternal Jew) was an anti-Semitic exhibition that first opened in the German museum in Munich in November 1937 and ended in January 1938. The exhibition then moved to Vienna from August thru October 1938 and then from November 1938 thru January 1938 to Berlin. The exhibit showed photographs pointing out the typical “Jewish” features especially of political figures as well as stars from the movie and show business and a lot of so called Entartete Kunst (Degenerate Art) of Jewish sculptors and painters. It was the largest pre-war anti-Semitic exhibition in Nazi Germany. The exhibit attracted nearly 500,000 visitors. In 1940 Fritz Hippler produced a movie of the same title, consistently presenting the Jew as a parasite throughout the entire movie.
The 6-3/4 x 9-3/4 inch, 128-page soft cover book “Der Ewige Jude” by Dr. Hans Diebow was published in 1938 by Zentralverlag der NSDAP and is as anti-Semitic as the exhibit and movie of the same title mentioned above. The 265(!) photos in this book introduce the Jew as a foreign, swarthy, hook-nosed, untidily bearded, sullen presence that clogs the teeming streets of middle Europe. ‘They haggle, squabble over food at the table, hoard with wealth, conceal it from tax collectors, and grow sleek and fat at the expense of good Germans.’ Their religion and culture are seen as cabalistic sources of secret powers. The first chapter tries to explain the origins of the Jewish nose, other chapters give many examples of Jews in high positions in politics, in the show business as well as in economy, industry and the financial world. The book has to be considered as one of the most anti-Semitic Third Reich books and few copies have survived the de-Nazification after 1945.
