Nazi Symbolic Violence 18 Since Nazi propaganda maintained that Jews viewed Gentiles as animals rather than fellow human beings, such photographs suggested corresponding violence toward Gentiles. At the same time, caricatures showed varieties of Nazi violence against Jews. Some examples were abstract. Two months after the Nazi takeover, a Stürmer cartoon had the arm of the Ministry of Education hauling a Jewish teacher out of the classroom. “Free the schools from the corruption of the Jewish spirit” (1933) Such cartoons did not necessarily imply physical violence against Jews — but neither did they suggest gentle methods. Five months after Hitler’s takeover, Der Stürmer carried the most ominous caricature I have found during the early years of the Third Reich. With a rising swastika sun in the background, a personification of Germany pushes a Jew (representing all Jews) off a cliff (see page 1). The consequences would, of course be fatal, but Germany is acting only in self-‐defense, doing to the Jews what the Jews were attempting to do to Germany.
Nazi Symbolic Violence 19 Other caricatures addressed the theme. A 1933 Stürmer cover has a host of grim Nazis victims of Jewish violence before Hitler’s takeover. A battered Jew holds up an arm to defend himself. The caption states that past Jewish deeds have not been forgotten. Do not think that we will forget, Yid! German blood did not flow in vain (1933) A 1935 Stürmer cartoon had a firm hand grasping a Jewish serpent.
