# Kam to dotiahnu? (Where will they get to?), Ľudové noviny

A caricatured Roosevelt in a Star-of-David-marked apron stands beside a whip-wielding figure with a Star of David badge, driving a cart pulled by a collapsing, red-coloured Stalin while Churchill lags behind. The tell: the printed text names 'the father of war', a Freemason grand master and 'the closest friend of the Jews', so the war is assigned to a named group rather than to events.

## Text on the object

```
Kam to dotiahnu?

Roosevelt, „otec vojny", slobodomurársky veľmajster, najdôvernejší priateľ Židov, zapriahol do svojej káry Stalina i Churchilla. Prvý by ťahal, ale už nevládze a padá; druhý je aj lenivý, aj nevládze. Padne teda aj on a s nimi dvoma aj Roosevelt.

```
Where will they get to?

Roosevelt, "the father of war", Masonic grand master, the closest friend of the Jews, has harnessed both Stalin and Churchill to his cart. The first would pull, but he no longer has the strength and is falling; the second is both lazy and without strength. So he too will fall, and with those two, Roosevelt as well.
