About “Der Giftpilz”
Der Giftpilz is a piece of antisemitic Nazi propaganda published in 1938 as a children's book by Julius Streicher. The text was written by Ernst Hiemer, and the illustrations were created by Philipp Rupprecht. The title refers to the idea that just as it is hard to distinguish a poisonous mushroom from an edible one, it is also hard to tell a Jew from a non-Jew. The book claims to warn German children about the dangers Jews supposedly pose to them and to German society. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
