The opening as it read in 2020

Antisemitic stereotype German propaganda antisemitic poster, written in polish language. Says: "JEWS-LOUSE SPOTTED-TYPHUS", hanged out on polish streets in 1942, German-occupied Poland The " Jewish parasite " is a notion that dates back to the time of the Enlightenment .1 It is based on the idea that the Jews of the diaspora are incapable of forming their own states and would therefore parasitically attack and exploit states and peoples - which are biologically imagined as organisms or "peoples bodies". The stereotype is often associated with the accusation of usury and the separation of "creative", i.e. productive, and "raffling", non-productive (financial) capital (see "High Finance"). In the period of National Socialism , it served to legitimize the persecution of Jews up to the Holocaust .2 Some representatives of Zionism also took up the motif. They regarded a "parasitic" way of life in other cultures as an inevitable consequence of the diaspora and contrasted it with the establishment of a Jewish state as an ideal.
