Simple entertainment? Antisemitism in Humorous Magazines, 1918-1938
Original language description
Antisemitic caricatures in satirical magazines like Der Kikeriki (1861-1933) not only reached a wide audience, but also represented a growing acceptance of antisemitism in interwar Central Europe. Yet, in addition to this dominant ‘loud’ antisemitism in popular visual culture, there was also a ‘softer’ version that permeated the pages of more moderate magazines like Die Muskete (1905-1941) in Vienna and Humoristické listy (1858-1941) in Prague. By considering visual examples from these magazines, my paper assesses how ‘soft’ antisemitism helped to legitimise its aggressive counterpart. Staged in magazines where readers expected light entertainment rather than hard-hitting satire, it permeated Central European visual culture to the core and added to the desensitising of the population through mass culture.
