Content note: Antisemitic conspiracy diagram with a caricature figure marked with a Star of David, as displayed at a 1942 German-backed exhibition in occupied Paris. This object is shown as it was published. Why
Le judaïsme tend à l'hégémonie mondiale (panel, Le Bolchevisme contre l'Europe exhibition, Paris)
A circular exhibition panel under the arched title 'Le judaïsme tend à l'hégémonie mondiale' draws a wiring diagram from the Soviet Communist Party, Labour and Social Democratic parties, 'bourgeois' parties and 'Haute banque anglaise' down to two hands held up by a cartoon figure marked with a Star of David. The tell is the diagram itself: unrelated organisations, ideologies and states are connected by lines to one group, which is presented as the hidden source of all of them.
