De Joden in Nederland (The Jews in the Netherlands)
Hans Graf von Monts
After the German invasion of the Netherlands in 1940, Dutch Nazi sympathizers and antisemites assisted in Nazi propaganda efforts to incite anti-Jewish sentiment among the populace. This publication, one example of this campaign, co-opted several of Vishniac’s photographs to serve these ends. Page 30 reads: “Not inclined or capable to do seriously fruitful work, here he lurks for easy, not very clean business—as a springboard.” Page 31 reads: “The leap to the West has succeeded! The Eastern Jewish barbarian has become...Dutch! Here he stands, proudly, in his junk shop."
