The title, "Der Jude: Kriegsanstifter, Kriegsverlänger," calls Jews the instigators and prolongers of war, a charge the Nazi regime used to shift blame for a conflict Germany itself started. The poster is signed "Mjölnir," the pseudonym of Hans Schweitzer, a prominent designer who produced many posters for the Nazi state and its party. The catalog dates it only to the 1940s, with the exact year uncertain. Posters like this were part of a sustained antisemitic propaganda campaign, and they document how that message was packaged for public display.
