Sinopsis

Beautiful.áDisturbing.áEnlightening.áBeginning in the 1920s, a man named Julius Streicher published a small weekly German newspaper called Der Stürmer.áIts mission was straightforward: to warn the German people about the threats posed by foreign and domestic Jews.áThe dangers were very real, and StreicherâÇÖs stories gave a blunt and direct account of them.áA key feature of Der Stürmer was its political cartoons.áThe cover of every issue, and several interior pages, displayed cartoons depicting various Jewish dangers, in a most striking and graphic form.áThe lead cartoonist was a man named âÇÖFipsâÇÖ Rupprecht.áHis cartoons became the signature feature of the newspaper, and grew to represent the broader German struggle against Jewry.ááWith the demise of National Socialist Germany, Der Stürmer and FipsâÇÖ cartoons were largely forgotten.áOr rather, they were buried-the victorious nations certainly did not want old Nazi images floating around, raising difficult questions and making people think.ááRecently, though, a skilled digital artist named Robert Penman rediscovered the forgotten images.áHe carefully restored, colorized, and reissued them.áHere, for the first time, he has compiled 200 of the best Fips images, as they have never been seen before.áPenman has done a masterful job.áThe images are sharp, crisp, and compelling.áThe colors are stunningly vivid.áThe effect is truly astonishing.áFipsâÇÖ cartoons, originally printed on cheap newsprint, come alive for the first time.áEvery image is a small masterpiece, a true work of contemporary art.áAnd one each tells a story-a story with relevance for the present day.Organized into six chapters chronologically, FipsâÇÖ cartoons clearly demonstrate the progression of views over the period of 20 years, from before the Nazis assumed power until the very end of the war. They tell the story of GermanyâÇÖs rise and fall as nothing else can.
