# Nebuď služobníkom žida (Do Not Be the Jew's Servant), Slovak State

Slovak State poster. A tall man in a grey suit drawn with exaggerated facial features lets banknotes fall from his hand while a man in boots, bent on hands and knees, bows toward his shoe. Red type, 'Nebuď služobníkom žida', is followed by the warning that whoever consorts with a Jew will go down with him.

```
DO NOT BE
THE SERVANT
OF THE JEW
WHOEVER CONSORTS WITH A JEW,
PERISHES WITH THE JEW!
PUBLISHED BY THE PROPAGANDA OFFICE
VICHOR
ANDREJ PRINTING HOUSE, BRATISLAVA
```

Read from the committed image. The printer line at lower right is very small and may read 'KNIHTLAČIAREŇ ANDREJ, BRATISLAVA'; treat it as approximate. 'skapína' is the Slovak verb for to perish or die off, rendered here literally as 'perishes'.
