Few posters from the Nazi period are as openly hateful as this color lithograph, which pairs a caricatured figure with the title *Der Ewige Jude*, or "The Eternal Jew." Printed in Munich by the firm Kunst in Druck and dated 1937, it advertised a propaganda exhibition of the same name that opened in Munich that year. The show presented Jews as a threat to German society, and its imagery was later linked to the 1940 film of the same title, both part of a campaign to spread racist ideas through public life. Today the poster is worth studying as a record of how caricature was turned into state propaganda.
