Beginning in the 1920s, a man named Julius Streicher published a small weekly German newspaper called Der Stürmer. Its mission was straightforward: to warn the German people about the threats posed by foreign and domestic Jews. The dangers were very real, and Streicher's stories gave a blunt and direct account of them.
A key feature of Der Stürmer was its political cartoons. The cover of almost every issue, and several interior pages, displayed cartoons depicting various Jewish dangers, in a most striking and graphic form. The lead cartoonist was a man named 'Fips' Rupprecht. His cartoons quickly became the signature feature of the newspaper.
With the demise of National Socialist Germany, Der Stürmer and Fips' cartoons were largely forgotten. Recently, though, a skilled digital artist named Robert Penman rediscovered the forgotten images. He carefully restored, colorized, and reissued them. Here, in Volume Three of this series, he presents another 250 images as they have never been seen before.
Penman has done a masterful job. The images are sharp, crisp, and compelling. The colors are stunningly vivid and the effect is astonishing. Fips' cartoons, originally printed in black and white on cheap newsprint, come alive for the first time. Every image is a small masterpiece. And each one tells a story-a story with relevance for the present day.
