Analysing Propaganda Images

In the picture, I see a Jewish man on a bright yellow background holding a Communist sign on the shape of Germany. He seems to be holding a whip in his left hand. He is in the middle of the image. The man wearing black really stands out on the yellow background. There are German words in orange at the bottom of the page. The Jewish man who looks scruffy and suspicious also has his right hand stuck out, with coins in it.

The picture is the cover of a book called The Eternal Jew written by the Nazi Party's publishing house in 1937. It was created by David Pinsk. The picture was intended for an older audience: People who could vote, people knew who they wanted to rule their beloved country -- that is, someone who could bring back Germany's pride after their major downfall in The Great War.

The message the creator is trying to send is that Jews are scruffy, unkempt, dishonest, suspicious people. That Jews are Communists and beggars, who steal food. I feel that the message is, "Do you really want to mix with these sorts of people?" From this image, the men, women and children in Germany would stereotype Jews. My evidence is that the man is holding money in his hand and therefore the creator is saying that he is stealing all of Germany's goods, money, food, basically everything -- keeping it from 'pure Germans'. He is a Communist because he is holding a Communist sign in his left hand. I know that this man is Jewish because the title of this image is "The Eternal Jew".

This image is 100% misleading. How could you just assume that all of the Jews look like this or act like this? How could they generalize Jews as communists, bad people? You don't know if all of this is true. But seeing as someone painted this, you would just assume that it is correct. Not knowing any better all they could do is believe in the myth the picture created. This image sends out a very negative vibe about Jews so that Germans would have an extremely low opinion of Jews. The picture was to perpetuate the Germans feeling of superiority over the Jews.
