Anti-Semitic Yugoslavian stamp 1941

Yugoslavian Postal Services under Nazi occupation issued in 22.10.1941 a series of anti-Jewish stamps and posters to mark the opening of the "Grand Anti-Masonic Exhibition" in Belgrade [22.10.1941- 19.01.1942]. In this stamp we see the hand of a Nazi strangling “the Jewish snake”, which caries numerous stars of David.
