ПОЈЕО ВУК! [Worse than a Wolf!] 

Printed poster

Belgrade, Serbia

N.p.

[1941]

Approx. 19 5/8 x 27 1/2 in. 

A vivid antisemitic poster displaying a grotesque caricature of the so-called "Eternal Jew". He looms over the Earth holding the keys to his safe labeled "СВЕТСКО БОГАТСТВО" ["World Wealth"] underneath a Star of David. 

The design was displayed in the "Grand Anti-Masonic Exhibition" that ran from 22 October 1941 until 19 January 1942 in Belgrade, in Nazi-occupied Serbia. The exhibition was financed by the Germans with the support of collaborationist leader Milan Nedić and organized by former members of the fascist Yugoslav National Movement (Zbor). 

The title of the exhibition sought to expose alleged Judeo-Masonic and Communist conspiracies for world domination. Artworks were virulently antisemitic,  dehumanizing Jews and seeking to justify their extermination. Included as part of the exhibition, over 60,000 copies of 20 different posters were also distributed to Serbians.
