Comprehensive Nazi propaganda publication, demonizing Bolshevism as a Jewish phenomenon and world enemy: '... it is as old as the historic Jewry and therefore not (truncated) a new manifestation but an age-old and proven Jewish weapon to destroy, subject and exploit the peoples of the world...' It distorts Jewish history and religion, placates Jews as nihilists and terrorists, holds them responsible as the founders of Bolshevism, describes the organization of the Communist world conspiracy, its crimes against humanity, the October Revolution of 1917, the Red Army as a weapon against the whole world, and contains chapters detailing the fight against Bolshevism, including General Franco and his fight as well as the worldwide anti-Bolshevic movement. The book is profusely illustrated with b/w photographs, incl. reproductions of artwork and documents throughout, including a depiction of the Tora scroll and ornamentation, describing it as man-made idolatry.

Text in German, Gothic script. Light wear along edges of binding with some light scuffing of leather spine. Top edge color diluted for some three inches near spine and some waviness of top of block due to water exposure. (Inventory #: 54756)
