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.

Anti-Jewish poster issued in German occupied Serbia in the fall of 1941 for the Grand Anti-Masonic Exhibition in Belgrade from October 22, 1941, to January 19, 1942. It has cartoons of Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill meeting at a table hiding Jewish caricatures with a plan to Bolshevize England and the US. The exhibit focused on the alleged Jewish-Communist-Masonic conspiracy to achieve world domination with the intent to increase hatred against outsider groups that opposed Nazi Germany. Yugoslavia had been invaded and dismembered by the Axis powers in April 1941. Germany annexed most of Slovenia and placed Serbia under military occupation. The exhibition was organized by the Serbian puppet government in collaboration with the German occupiers. This poster is one of more than 900 items in the Katz Ehrenthal Collection of antisemitic visual materials.
The poster was donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2016 by the Katz Family.
Offset color lithograph poster on light brown paper with caricatures of a large, obese man in uniform, Joseph Stalin, motioning with his hands for a tall, skinny, smiling Franklin D. Roosevelt, his hands clasped expectantly, and a short, round man in a check suit, likely Winston Churchill, to sit at a long table. It is spread with a green cloth with red Soviet stars, a hammer and sickle, and a hand bell on it, and 8 red chairs with Stars of David around it. Hiding beneath the table are 10 Jewish men with thick lips turned up in smug smiles. They have a yellow book with symbols and Serbian text. The background is shaded in a gradient yellow, with Serbian text. It is adhered to slightly larger linen backing.
