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.

Text on the object
NEBUĎ SLUŽOBNÍKOM ŽIDA KTO SA SO ŽIDOM SPOLČUJE, TEN SO ŽIDOM SKAPÍNA ! VYDÁVA ÚRAD PROPAGANDY VICHOR KNIHTLAČIAREŇ ANDREJ, BRATISLAVA
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'.
