Antisemitic cartoon workers were required to post in a factory in German occupied Ukraine
Antisemitic flier that a Russian woman was ordered by the German occupying authorities to post in a Messerschmitt airplane factory where she worked assembling bombs in the Ukraine region of the Soviet Union. Removal of a posted flier was a serious offense with punitive consequences. The bulletin features a caricature of a fat, richly dressed Jewish man as the "the true and only goal of the Bolshevik "World Revolution." The woman who posted the flier saved a copy because she did not want the world to forget the "difficulties." She kept it hidden behind a wooden picture frame and took it with her when she later emigrated to Brazil, and then to the United States. See 2016.184.662 for a color poster of this handbill. Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, breaking the German-Soviet Pact signed in August 1938. Germany remained victorious until autumn 1942 when the Soviet counteroffensive forced them to begin a long retreat. Most of the Ukraine was liberated by 1943. No restrictions on access
