Rare Original German banknotes from the Weimar Republic, the backs overprinted With Election Slogans Of Nazi Party And Antisemitic Text And Image Certified By The Gettysburg Museum Of History. Antisemitism sharply increased in Germany after the First World War. Jews were blamed for the country’s defeat, the Treaty of Versailles, and the catastrophic inflation that followed. Due to the inflation, coins had almost entirely disappeared from circulation, as paper money was easier to replace. Antisemitic factions and the Nazi Party recognized that paper money could be used as a propaganda tool. By overprinting the backs of banknotes, they spread their messages to everyone who handled the currency. The 1000 Mark note of 15 September 1922, in particular, which became worthless within less than a year, became a favoured medium for such propaganda. Initially, antisemitic messages were handwritten on the back of the notes, then typed, and eventually, the backs were overprinted with antisemitic images, texts, and election slogans for the Nazi Party.
