    Biography
    The Katz Ehrenthal Collection is a collection of more than 900 objects depicting Jews and antisemitic and anti-Jewish propaganda from the medieval to the modern era, in Europe, Russia, and the United States. The collection was amassed by Peter Ehrenthal, a Romanian Holocaust survivor, to document the pervasive history of anti-Jewish hatred in Western art, politics and popular culture. It includes crude folk art as well as pieces created by Europe's finest craftsmen, prints and periodical illustrations, posters, paintings, decorative art, and toys and everyday household items decorated with depictions of stereotypical Jewish figures.

    Physical Description
    Engraving in black ink on paper depicting 2 bearded men in profile with stereotypically large noses and fleshy lips and round patches on their clothing identifying them as Jews. They wear a circular scraper and watering can as hats and hold vine-wrapped flag poles, coins, and a goblet as coins spill from their money pouches. They are seated back to back on an enormous barrel on a wagon carrying wine barrels, corn sacks, and a fox pulling a net full of farmers behind as it is driven toward a large, toothed creature’s mouth on the right by a horned creature with hooves. In the background, men and horned creatures work in a barn in front of a destroyed corn field beneath storm clouds and a wine cellar in front of a withered vineyard beneath the sun and a flaming sword. False German biblical verses and Latin phrases are recorded within the image in Fraktur font. The title and additional verses are printed above and below the image.
