Postcard depicting a caricature of two Jewish men falling in front of children sledding.

Postcards were a popular and easy form of communication. Some publishers created postcards featuring antisemitic caricatures. This postcard depicts two Jewish men being tripped by children sledding. The caption reads "Wölfe schlitten überfallend" (Wolves attacking sleds). This is a pun on the Jewish last name Wolf.
