Analysis

How does this illustration work?

This illustration accompanies Woran man die Juden erkennt. A blond pupil points to a hooked-nose profile and Star of David on a classroom blackboard while an adult teacher and other pupils watch.

The classroom setting turns caricature into school knowledge: a stereotype is presented as a diagram that children can learn and reproduce.

Propaganda technique: Physiognomic racialization; pedagogical authority; caricature.

Evidentiary boundary: The illustration teaches a type, not an observed individual; variation among actual Jewish people is excluded by design.
