The lid inlay on this stein quotes several anti-Semitic statements attributed to late 19th century German notables. An alternative inlay presents a denigrating caricature of a Jewish man hiking to the “Promised Land” with a bag on a stick labeled “1100000”. Around the top band of the stein are five images including “Mammon”, the Biblical personification of wealth or greed, and four additional derogatory caricatures of Jewish males. The central image is divided into two parts, the first showing a German farmer telling a group of Jews to “Get out of Germany” and the second showing them departing for the “Promised Land”, both of which depict Jews in an overtly demeaning manner. A tent-like structure dominating the “Kingdom of Israel” is labeled “Aron Gojimschlächter Wechsel-Bank” (Aron Gentile-Butcher Exchange-Bank).
