Background: For many years, I've had an interest in Julius Streicher, the leading Nazi anti-Semite, who published the weekly newspaper Der Stürmer and was the Nazi Gauleiter, or regional leader, of the Nuremberg area. He was hanged for his anti-Semitic propaganda by the Nuremberg Tribunal. This collection of pictures comes from a variety of sources. I also append two miscellaneous items: the cover of a booklet of Streicher's letters from prison, written during the Nuremberg trials, and a postcard a Stürmer agent could send in to have anti-Semitic information sent to people in his area.

For more information, see my book titled Julius Streicher.

This photograph shows Julius Streicher with Roberto Farrinacci, an Italian anti-Semite. They were speaking at a major anti-Semitic rally in Berlin. This was one of Streicher's last public appearances outside his Gau Franconia, as he was in difficulties that would lead to his exile from Nuremberg a year later.
