Three Essays by "Itzig Feitel Stern"
Three anti Semitic essays by Itzig Feitel Stern, the Christian writer Heinrich Holzschuher, who signed several anti Semitic essays which he composed using this fictional Jewish name. The books presented here contain allegories, dialogues and poems using faulty German, supposedly to imitate the Jewish-Yiddish speech and to ridicule it. The essays are accompanied by anti Semitic illustrations and by titles in faulty Hebrew letters.
