This artifact is an antisemitic children’s book titled You Can't Trust a Fox in the Heath and a Jew on his Oath: A Picture Book for Young and Old featuring illustrated caricatures and text in German. The cover shows a fox and a stereotyped Jewish figure, with stylized handwriting and a Star of David symbol on the back cover, indicating its targeted propaganda message. Inside, the book contains grotesque, exaggerated depictions of Jewish people paired with text reinforcing negative stereotypes. Such publications were produced in Nazi Germany during the 1930s and 1940s as part of state-sponsored antisemitic propaganda aimed at indoctrinating youth. These books were used to promote racial hatred and justify discriminatory policies within the Nazi regime. They reflect the regime’s efforts to embed antisemitism into everyday culture and education. This type of material was integral to the broader campaign of dehumanization and social exclusion of Jewish communities during this period.
