Julius Streicher

Julius Streicher (b. 1885) was a prominent Nazi prior to and during World War II. He was the publisher of the Nazi Der Stürmer newspaper, which was to become a part of the Nazi propaganda machine. His publishing firm released three anti-Semitic books for children, including the 1938 Trust No Fox in the Green Meadow and No Jew on His Oath and The Poison Mushroom. These were considered classics and still widely read by children in 2010. Alicia Gimpel, originally as fond of them as other German children were, grew to hate the books when she learned she was a Jew.
