The front cover of an antisemitic booklet from the Netherlands.

De Joden in Nederland (The Jews in the Netherlands) was published in 1941. The author, Hans Graf von Monts, was a false name for Hans Paul Kreutzer who was a German propagandist. The booklet contains antisemitic text, illustrations and photographs. The cover is illustrated with three caricatures of Jewish men. They evolve from small and poor to rich large and rich. This propaganda was supposed to demonstrate that the Jews have grown too powerful in the Netherlands.
