We all know that the Jewish people were the first and biggest priority target of the Nazis. Illustrations like this one in the book, Trust No Fox in the Green Meadow and No Jew on His Oath, claimed that all Jews were cheaters and generally bad people. The headlines in the photo are translated to “Jews are Our Misfortune” and “How Jews Cheat.” Hitler needed to convince millions of Germans, and the rest of the world, that Jewish people were responsible for their own economic struggles. The Nazi party focused on Jewish control of many banks while asserting that the financial hardships in Germany were all at the fault of these people.
