Anti-Nazi drawing published in the PM newspaper Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda Enlightenment

Leon Schleifer was born in 1900 in Germany. He served in the German army at the end of World War I (1914-1918). He became a political cartoonist and his work was published in the anti-Nazi press. He also specialized in courtroom trial sketches. After the appointment of Hitler as Chancellor in 1933, Schliefer emigrated to the United States. He changed his name to William Sharp and continued his career as an editorial cartoonist and illustrator. His work was published in the New York Times, Life Magazine, and other publications. He died in 1961, age sixty-one years. 

The drawing was aquired by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 1991.

Dr. Paul Goebbels is one of the most vindictive men I know of. He threatened me with concentration camp for anti-Nazi drawings I did under an assumed name.
