Prague: Nakladatelství Orbis, 1941. Octavo (21.2 × 14.7 cm). Original pictorial wrappers; 90, [5] pp. Very good. First and only edition of a series of anti-semitic radio speeches, adapted and edited by Alois Kříž (1911-1947), a German-born Czech journalist who had embraced the ideology of the German occupants after 1939 and wrote numerous books on politics from a Nazi point of view. From 1941 he worked for the Czech radio, where he produced political commentary and the lecture series "What do you know about the Jews and Freemasons?" The lectures, by various scholars and demagogues, feature titles such as "They Just Don't Belong to Europe!" and "The Jewish Question and its Resolution." As documented on a famous photograph, Kříž himself was dramatically arrested during the so-called Prague Uprising of May 1945. He was subsequently sentenced to death for his collaboration with the Germans and executed at the Pankrác prison. Jindřich Toman mentions this title as an example of the use of photomontage in antisemitic works: "Nazi propaganda repeatedly confirmed photomontage's modernist connotation by using this technique to discredit what Nazism was trying to dissociate itself from - the spirit of Weimar... [this work shows] a group of Jewish men, [applying] the photographic rhetoric of the 'how-they-really-are' kind" (Photo/Montage in Print, p. 155). Toman 4.3.37. Scarce; outside the Czech Republic, we locate copies at Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Harvard, and YIVO.
