Julius Streicher Meeting Posters

This advertises a meeting in 1922 organized by one of Streicher’s pre-Nazi parties, the Deutsche Werkgemeinschaft. The theme is one of the favorite anti-Semitic canards: the claim that 300 people rule the world, based on a statement by Walter Rathenau that was taken considerably out of context. This mysterious group is out to enslave the world. “The truth must come out!” the poster proclaims.
