EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a chilling moment in history, showcasing the cover of an anti-Semitic publication from 1942 in Brussels. Titled "Joden Zijn Ook Menschen Steenlandt" (Jews Are Also Humans), this Flemish language book was filled with disturbing photos and propaganda aimed at ridiculing Jews during World War II. The cover itself is deeply unsettling, featuring a demonic depiction of a Jew. The artist's intention was clear: to dehumanize and demonize an entire community based on their religious identity. This image serves as a haunting reminder of the hatred and discrimination that plagued society during this dark period. Published in Belgian capital Brussels, this book played a significant role in spreading anti-Jewish sentiment within the Flemish-speaking population. It served as part of a larger propaganda campaign designed to fuel prejudice against Jews and justify their persecution. Looking back at such publications allows us to confront the painful realities of our past, reminding us how important it is to promote tolerance, understanding, and respect for all individuals regardless of their background or beliefs. By acknowledging these historical injustices, we can strive towards building a more inclusive future where diversity is celebrated rather than vilified.
