This is an absolutely original example of the very rare 8 x 11 inch, very heavily illustrated, 312 page hardbound book Die Juden in der Karikatur (Jews in Caricature) by Edward Fuchs as published by Albert Langen Verlag in München (Munich), Germany in 1921.

Subtitled Ein Beitrag zur Kulturgeschichte (A Contribution to Cultural History), this very rare book contains over 300 illustrations, and 31 full-page plates many of which are in full-color.

The author was a Berliner who studied and wrote broadly on the subject of caricature. In this book he traces the caricatures of Jews back to the 14th century in Central Europe. From there the book deals with the writings on the subject of Jews by Martin Luther, traces the association of Jews with money and capitalism, and their disproportionate numbers in certain fields and endeavors.

Hundreds of very rare pictures from German, Polish, Austrian, French, Dutch, Russian, Hungarian, British and even American sources are used to illustrate an extremely well-researched text. Because most are satirical caricatures they show Jews at their worst as ragmen and poor soldiers, lusting after goyim women and attempting to appear "elegant".

The Jewish Emancipation in Europe in the mid 19th century is recounted in detail utilizing many caricatures of Jews attempting to adopt the clothing, sports, mannerisms and customs of the general European populations into which they were trying to integrate themselves.

The 19th century French seem to have been extremely anti-Jewish based on the many examples cited in this book. Much is made of the "scandalous" newspapers published in New York by Jews, and their close association with Soviet communism. Die Juden in der Karikatur ends with the rising anti-Semitic / anti-communist feelings in Germany.

There is not the slightest doubt that Adolf Hitler and many other leading Nazis owned and were reading this book in the 1920s and 1930s, and that they took many of the caricatures to heart.

This example of Die Juden in der Karikatur is in very good used condition and comes with a dust jacket and original protective carton (shown above).
