This exhibition is composed of various postal items, each an interesting piece of historical evidence from the time of the Holocaust, each unique in its own right. All items displayed within this exhibition come to you courtesy of the Florence and Laurence Spungen Foundation. Mail posted by Nazi officials, their allies, their collaborators, and most of all, their victims and opponents, along with some collateral material, document the catastrophe that befell Europe after Adolf Hitler assumed power in Germany on January 30, 1933. This exhibit, originally entitled "The Nazi Scourge," explores each phase of Nazi tyranny and aggression, with particular attention to the persecution and mass murder of European Jews. You may enter the exhibition here. |
Image right: A traveling, anti-Semitic propaganda exhibition titled "Der ewige Jude (The Eternal Jew)" opened in Munich on November 8, 1937. Jews were portrayed as moral degenerates in exhibits, lectures, books, and posters--alternatively as money-grubbing capitalists or as Communists conspirators, either way bent on world domination.
