# Ausstellung »Der ewige Jude«: Schautafel »Jüdische Drückebergerei und Betriebsamkeit im Weltkrieg«

A display board from the exhibition headed 'Jüdische Drückebergerei und Betriebsamkeit im Weltkrieg' shows three drawn strips, 'Juden an der Front', 'Juden in der Etappe' and 'Juden im Hinterland', each depicting caricatured Jewish figures as idle or profiteering. A neighbouring chart on the left counts Jews in Vienna.
