TitleJuden sehen Dich an
DescriptionAdvertisement for the book JUDEN SEHEN DICH AN by Johann von Leers. This book, published circa 1933, was one of the most notorious works of anti-Semitic propaganda, detailing the key characteristics of Jews as lying, fraudulent, criminal, greed-driven people. Leers pictured prominent Jewish figures throughout the world and assigned them these qualities.
Johann von Leers was one of the most prolific writers of anti-Semitic propaganda in the Third Reich and a high-ranking propaganda ministry official. He published numerous books, essays and news articles from 1930-1944.
This flier and order form for Juden Sehen Dich An contains on the reverse a foreword to readers, wherein Leers urges good Germans to understand that their country has been taken over, suppressed and poisoned by Jews, who are not real Germans but a foreign nation. Germans may be accused of hateful anti-Semitism, but it is only because Jews too have an infernal hatred of Germanism. He goes on to say that though there may be a small number of non-harmful Jews, all Jews must be legislated against to protect the German people now and in the future. If others should complain about the harshness of such legislation, thinking that Jews deserve more humane treatment, let this evidence show that they are not humane and would have destroyed this country.

- German Foreword
This little book aims to show the people of Germany once again who has mastered it politically, poisonously and economically. Even those who are restricted will have to admit that it was a question of a real domination of Germany by a foreign nation, which worked together in all areas of life to hold down and suppress Germany and that every hunted fatal rule would come up again if Germany were not to wake up.
If today we are accused with "hateful anti-Semitism" - the majority of those depicted here have had a truly infernal hatred against Germanism!
However, the small number of non-harmful Jews does not relieve the German people of their obligation to prevent any return of Jewish rule by means of fair legislation, which is also just for the German people.
If, later, our descendants should complain about the alleged harshness of such Jewish legislation out of misunderstood humanity, then let the pictures in this book appear of those who have brought their fathers to the brink of despair and ruin, and protect their children from future Jewish rule.
