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.
The poster was donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2016 by the Katz Family.

Offset lithograph poster on light brown paper with an illustration in black ink in the upper right of the head of a man with stereotyped Jewish features: an overlarge, hooked nose, and large, protruding ears, with a cap with a Soviet 5 point star. His hand shields his mouth as he speaks to 2 men from the waist up, in the middle and lower left. The center man has short black hair and a black jacket and looks warily at the Jew, as he frowns and rips a piece of paper, one of many falling from above. The man at the bottom wears a ushanka, a winter hat with ear flaps, and has turned away, with his left arm extended backward, palm out, rejecting the Jew's words. At the top is Cyrillic Russian text.
