- Notes:
- This front page map is typical of the crude, virulently anti-semitic tabloid "Der Sturmer" (The Striker) published weekly by the infamous Julius Streicher during the Nazi era. Titled "The Plan of the Talmud," it shows two men before a map of Europe, one a stereotypical Jewish figure grasping a copy of the Talmud bearing the Star of David, the other a thuggish brute with the hammer and sickle of the Soviet Union on his chest. On the desk are symbols of Freemasonry, the square and compasses. The map shows hammer-and-sickle flags planted across virtually all the world, with the largest in Moscow. And the caption below the map reads "The Bolshevization of the Peoples is Preparation for Jewish World Domination by all Means."
At the foot of the page is the motto that appears on every issue of Der Sturmer: "The Jews Are Our Calamity." The lead story is unrelated to the map; it deals with the trial of a Jewish homosexual who was eventually killed in the concentration camps. The balance of the issue includes a variety of other anti-semitic articles and cartoons, along with advertisement for anti-semitic books and pamphlets. After the War, Streicher was convicted at the Nuremberg Trials of Crimes Against Humanity and executed.
While some senior Nazi officials disdained Der Sturmer as vulgar and declasse, others - including Hitler himself- favored the publication because of its simple appeal to the "man in the street," the party's less-well-educated supporters.
