Description
Hatemail: Anti-Semitism on Picture Postcards by Salo Aizenberg A collection of over 250 examples of anti-Semitic postcards from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, reproduced for the first time. These images, largely from the pre-Holocaust era, offer a disturbing glimpse into the many permutations of anti-Semitism that were eagerly circulated by millions of people. The book provides historical context to these images, which were churned out by publishers to meet public demand, reflecting deep-seated attitudes of society. This collection helps us understand a phenomenon still pervasive today, and is a valuable resource for those interested in social science, Jewish studies, history, and anthropology. By examining these postcards, we gain insight into the ways in which anti-Semitism was spread through everyday objects, and how it continues to impact our world today.
