A LARGE ANTI-SEMITIC POSTER. Germany, 1939. Depicting an eldery Jew and a young one in the synagogue on Kol Nidre night. The Russian text on the picture is the beginning of Kol Nidrei. Translated as: “All vows, prohibitions, oaths, consecrations, konam-vows, konas vows, or equivalent terms that we may vow, swear, consecrate, or equivalent terms that we may vow, swear, consecrate, or prohibit upon ourselves – from this Yom Kippur until the next Yom Kippur, may it come upon us for good – regarding them all, we regret them henceforth. They all will be permitted, abandoned, cancelled, null and void, without power and without standing. Our vows shall not be valid vows, our prohibitions shall not be valid prohibitions; AND OUR OATHS SHALL NOT BE VALID OATHS” The signature line says “Kol Nidrei – Jewish forgiveness prayer according to the Machzer. The Germans printed these posters showing the Jewish population cant be trusted. In Cyrillic for the Russian/Ukranian population. 24Ó x 30Ó. Small tears, folds and repairs.
