Historical Context: Poster was designed for and exhibited at the Grand Anti-Masonic exhibition that ran from October 22,1941 - January 19, 1942 in Belgrade, Serbia. Belgrade was the capital of Nazi Germany occupied Serbia where a puppet government was headed by collaborator Milan Nedic. Germany had invaded only six months earlier on April 6, 1941. The exhibit was financed by the Germans in their newly occupied territory and featured propagandist materials which promoted anti-Semitic ideas. There was a focus on the alleged Jewish-Communist-Masonic plot to achieve world domination. The exhibits worked to dehumanize the Jewish people and justify their extermination by the Germans. During 1941 the German occupiers shot and killed 8,000 male Serb Jews and rounded up the Jewish women and children. The women and children were sent to Semlin detention camp and virtually all of the 6,280 of them were killed by the following spring of 1942. More than 80,000 people visited the Grand Anti-Masonic exhibition during the three month run.
