How "A Star Is Born"
TitleHow "A Star Is Born"
DescriptionThis propaganda sticker bears the title "How 'A Star Is Born'", followed by the words: "Ask The Hollywood Jew Who Owns One" then "Boycott the Jewish Boycotters". Featured prominently in the center is a peculiar drawing of a 5-pointed star against a black circle. In the center of the star is what appears to be an 8-legged spider with the head of a man. This man -- ostensibly a Jew -- has a ridiculously large nose, ears, and mouth; beady eyes; and a furrowed brow. Interspersed between the spider legs are the letters USSR, as well as the Soviet hammer-and-sickle symbol. The bottom of the sticker reads: "Boycott every motion picture starting any member of the Pro-Communist Hollywood Anti-Nazi League" and "Destroy Jew Monopoly of the Motion Picture Industry with its Sex Filth Films and Jew-Communist Propaganda." 5.75 x 3.25 in.
