Co víte o Židech? Podle stejnojmenného cyklu politických přednášek českého rozhlasu [What do you know about the Jews? Adapted based on an eponymous series of political lectures on the Czech Radio].; "Na okraj nové doby" ["On the brink of a new era"], vol. 38 by Kříž, Alois, editor - 1941

Prague: Nakladatelství Orbis, 1941. Octavo (21.2 × 14.7 cm). Original pictorial wrappers; 90, [5] pp. Very good. First and only edition of a series of anti-semitic radio speeches, adapted and edited by Alois Kříž (1911-1947), a German-born Czech journalist who had embraced the ideology of the German occupants after 1939 and wrote numerous books on politics from a Nazi point of view. From 1941 he worked for the Czech radio, where he produced political commentary and the lecture series "What do you know about the Jews and Freemasons?" The lectures, by various scholars and demagogues, feature titles such as "They Just Don't Belong to Europe!" and "The Jewish Question and its Resolution." As documented on a famous photograph, Kříž himself was dramatically arrested during the so-called Prague Uprising of May 1945. He was subsequently sentenced to death for his collaboration with the Germans and executed at the Pankrác prison. See also Jindřich Toman, Photo/Montage in Print, p. 155: "Nazi propaganda repeatedly confirmed photomontage's modernist connotation by using this technique to discredit what Nazism was trying to dissociate itself from - the spirit of Weimar... Czech propaganda titles by Orbis Publishers from the period of Nazi occupation (1939-1945) exploit photomontage for anti-democratic propaganda as well..." Of the present cover, Toman notes: "showing a group of Jewish men, applies photographic rhetoric of the 'how-they-really-are' kind." 4.3.37. Scarce; outside the Czech Republic, we locate copies at Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Harvard, and YIVO.
