About this Item

Original vintage poster. Printed on peach paper. 313 × 472 mm. Rare Holocaust-era poster, reflecting anti-Semitic policies and church involvement in 1944 Budapest. This poster, issued in July 1944 under the authority of Tibor Keledy, the mayor of Budapest at the time, is an official public notice targeting Jewish individuals residing in the city. It specifically addresses Jewish people, both men and women, aged 16 to 60, who had been baptized into a recognized Christian denomination in Hungary, but outside of Budapest, before August 1941. The focus on both the date and the specified location is significant, as it targets those who might have sought refuge in Budapest to escape the mass deportations of Hungarian Jews from the countryside, which took place between May and July 1944. This date aligns with the implementation of Hungary's Third Jewish Law, enacted on August 8, 1941, which defined Jewish identity based on racial criteria, modeled after the Nuremberg Laws of Nazi Germany. Tibor Keledy, who served as mayor from April 1944, oversaw Budapest during a critical and dark period marked by the German occupation of Hungary. Keledy played a key role in implementing and enforcing anti-Semitic measures dictated by the occupying forces. During his tenure, several oppressive policies were enforced, including the designation of yellow-star houses, which marked specific buildings where Jews were forced to live. These houses were a precursor to the later ghettoization, reflecting the heavy influence of Nazi policies and Hungary's complicity in the Holocaust. The poster mandates that the affected individuals must report for registration with their documents at the appropriate pastoral office based on their current residence in Budapest. The registration period is scheduled from July 12 to July 17, 1944, until 5 PM. This poster not only starkly illustrates the oppressive and discriminatory measures imposed on Jews during this period in Hungary's history but also highlights the church's role in supporting the anti-Semitic government policies by involving pastoral offices in the registration process. . Folded. Left edge chipped, small closed tears at foldings. Lightly tanned at edges. Overall in very good condition. Original vintage poster. Printed on peach paper. Seller Inventory # 3311
