Description
“No One Wants Jews Anymore,” a political cartoon created by Philipp (Fips) Rupprecht for Julius Streicher's rabidly antisemitic tabloid, "Der Stürmer." The signs on the doors to Poland, Switzerland, and Holland translate to "Jews are no longer wanted." Below the image, the title “No One Wants Jews Anymore” is written, followed in smaller text by a quotation from a character named Ahasver who says "By God, word seems to have gotten around about what's wrong with me." Ahasver is a name often given to an antisemitic legendary figure commonly known as the Wandering Jew or the Eternal Jew who, for the crime of taunting Jesus on the way to his Crucifixion, is cursed to wander the Earth until the Second Coming.
