"Solche gibt es auch, aber... so war es nicht gemeint!" [There are those too, but ... it wasn't meant like that!], an anti-Semitic poster. Published by Waldheim-Eberle (WE), [Vienna, ca. 1938]. German.
A large anti-Semitic poster – caricature by Philipp Rupprecht ("Fips") depicting the Aryanization process as a change of personnel between Jews (presumably, in response to what the Nazis called "camouflaging Jewish businesses" – businesses that were formally transferred to Aryan hands yet in practice were managed by Jews).
The caricature depicts two Jewish men, identical in everything but the color of their clothes, in the revolving entrance door of a closed store – as one enters, the other one exits. A sign above the door reads "In Arisierung" ("in the process of Aryanization"). The caption next to the caricature reads "There are those too, but ... it wasn't meant like that!".
Caricaturist Philipp Rupprecht, who published his works under the pseudonym Fips, worked for Julius Streicher's anti-Semitic newspaper Der Stürmer. Two anti-Semitic children's books he had illustrated – "Don't Trust a Fox in a Green Pasture or a Jew Upon His Oath" and "The Poisonous Mushroom", were widely circulated in Nazi Germany. After World War II, he was tried in the Nuremberg Trials for his crucial part in distributing anti-Semitic propaganda.
