| Description | Photographs show activities of prominent Jews in several countries, and unidentified poor Jews, actors, and Talmudic students. Includes group portraits of theater groups such as the Joodsche Invalide in Amsterdam and scenes from American Jewish Theater. Examples of art by Henry Moore and Jacob Epstein are presented and captions identify their work as "degenerate art". Also includes portraits of Albert Einstein, Felix Frankfurter, Richard Tauber, Bernhard Baruch, Fiorello de Guardia, Henry Morgenthau, Ernst Lübitsch, Mac Gordon, Maxim Litvinov, Frank Knox, Franklin Roosevelt, Max David Steuer, Louis D. Brandeis, Philipp Scheidemann, Jacob Epstein, Baron Edouard de Rothschild, Isidor Weiss, Ernst Cohen, Meijer de Hond, Leon Lazarow and Bernhard Loehsel Ritter. Selection of portraits appear to be chosen to emphasize the Nazi theory of the corrupt physical, moral, mental, and artistic influence of the Jews, with highly biased captions. |
