Description
-
Photograph of page 19 of the March 20, 1939 issue of Social Justice, in a bound volume held by the American Catholic History Research Center and University Archives. The page carries a fundraising appeal for Father Charles E. Coughlin’s 1939 radio broadcasting fund, illustrated with an unsigned cartoon. The cartoon and accompanying text advance the antisemitic claim that Jews created Communism and that Nazi persecution of Jews was a consequence of it, and argue that eliminating Communism in the United States would eliminate antisemitism. This material is preserved and described as historical evidence of antisemitic propaganda circulated within American Catholic media; the repository does not endorse its claims.
