Down With the Jews!: A Parody

This satirical four-page pamphlet, published in New York by Wm. B. Smyth in 1879, is a parody of antisemitic sentiments. Written by Harry Hananel Marks, it ironically depicts a meeting of the "Society for Suppressing the Jewish Race," complete with exaggerated proposals to revive the ghetto and the Inquisition. The pamphlet includes two cartoons referencing the Manhattan Beach Hotel and is marked "Exhibit B" on the first page. Its over-the-top language serves to expose the absurdity of antisemitism.
