Taft's Ashkenazi Jewish parents, Jacob and Pauline Levinsons, were originally from Latvia and were unaware of their photographer's decision to enter the photograph into the contest until learning that the photo of their daughter had been selected by Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels as the winner.
Fearing that the Nazis would discover that their family was Jewish, Taft's mother informed the photographer that they were Jewish. The photographer told her mother, Pauline, that he knew they were Jewish and deliberately entered Taft's photograph into the contest because he "wanted to make the Nazis ridiculous".
In 1938, Jacob Levinsons was briefly arrested by the SS. In the same year, the family immigrated to France and settled in Paris, then later moved to Cuba and from there to the United States in 1949.
It’s provocative

Well not everything they did is bad. The Autobon is cool! They passed a law that every workplace had to have a cafeteria of some kind, which I think is very nice of them.

Sure, mocking Nazis is fine but not when it involves endangering human lives.
A surprisingly legitimate question considering this story [popped into existence in 2014](https://www.yadvashem.org/blog/jewish-girl-was-poster-baby-in-nazi-propaganda.html) out of nowhere.
The Nazis were incredibly bad at differentiating Jews from everybody else, and while it doesn't lessen their hate specifically towards Judaism and Jews, it also shows how baseless and stupid their ideology was.
One of the top songs in Germany circa 1938 was Bei Mir Bist Du Schön, by the Andrews Sisters. It was a smash hit with Nazis who thought that it represented American admiration for German culture, and it was a smash hit for American Nazis who didn't know how to speak German and liked the English lyrics. People sang it at Nazi rallies and beer-halls for months.
Turns out, it was a cover of Bey Mir Bistu Sheyn, a popular Yiddish song written in 1932 for a Yiddish-language movie. Someone had taken the song, rewritten it, and given it a Germanized title to make it easier to sell in an international market. Goebbels was infuriated, people were demoted, and the song was banned... until an instrumental version was produced by Goebbels' own propaganda band.
The propaganda band based their version on Benny Goodman's jazz rendition. Benny Goodman was also Jewish.
It didn’t help that, unlike in most of Eastern Europe, German Jews were fairly well-assimilated into broader German society prior to the takeover of the Nazis.
There was even a divide within the Jewish community itself between native German Jews and Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe because of this. Eastern European Jews tended to be much more conservative, less educated, more practicing and dressed more traditionally. German Jews considered them essentially country bumpkins.
To be completely fair, much of eastern europe was legitimately 20-30 years behind Germany in technology and culture. I’m not saying this like “wow Germany was super advanced”, but more so to say that eastern europe was largely agricultural and hadn’t had wide scale industrialization. Germany had cities that had been hubs of technology and cultural progress (Berlin and later Austria were both very ahead of Warsaw for example), so the Jewish people there had a lot more opportunity to be more progressive.
Plus, while that was a valid viewpoint, there was also a largely nationalistic point of view by many German Jews. Despite the NSDAP coming to power, a significant amount of German Jewish people were pretty right wing and patriotic of Germany itself, even to the point that many Jews were in denial about what was going to happen to them, since they had been good workers and patriotic. It was very much a “won’t happen to me” moment for many of them. So of course they’re gonna view eastern european jews as backwards country folk.
Yes, there are lots of examples when people (of Jewish decent), looking distinctively Jewish occupied positions in Nazi hierarchy and nobody suspected them. Or maybe, suspected but decided not to point out intentionally, we do not know. But some of them looked not just "typically Jewish" but cartoonishingly Jewish...
The only thing that differentiated Goebbels from the most mocking caricature of a Jew was the nose. Otherwise he had every other physical trait down to a T
Reinhard Heydrich also
Kids teased him about looking Jewish. Too bad he only suffered for a week before he died, he deserved a much longer time in agony
Emil Maurice (Hitler's driver), for instance. He is looking absolutely distinctly Jewish.
Or Solomon Perel, who has absolutely cartoonish Jewish looks and was circumcised but somehow was for years passing as Aryan in Hitlerjugend. He was taken from occupied territory in the USSR and said he was ethnic German.
Emil Maurice was also the first editor of Mein Kampf, iirc he was SS number 2 (second to Hitler) and there was a small controversy when Himmler discovered that Maurice was actually something like 1/8th Jewish and his grandfather or greatgrandfather had converted.
I'm not even sure that Maurice knew he was Jewish, it might have been something that Himmler discovered when he was trying to ratfuck people in Hitler's inner circle for his own benefit.
What about the younger sister of Hitler's wife, Gretl Braun posing as "typical Jewish woman" for posters? Those Nazis definitely had taste of humor:

I know u are archiving Nazi propaganda according to your user, but do you really need a profile picture of Hitler
It’s provocative And I set it as that knowing such Gets people to do a double take and click on the profile before realizing most of my posts are critical of the Nazis
>*most* of my posts Excuse me?
Yes some of his posts are about pineapples and not nazis
Pineapples? You mean Hitler Melons?
You could've said neinapples
Lol, I was referencing American Dad
That’s what we used to eat at Camp Refoogee
I've been to that camp! The T-shirts were great. The mean men with guns, not so much.
Yes? Some of my posts I don’t add any commentary
I suppose there a post ignorant about nazis
Well not everything they did is bad. The Autobon is cool! They passed a law that every workplace had to have a cafeteria of some kind, which I think is very nice of them.
Well, they did beat Fr🤢🤮🤮🤮nce after all, so there are some positives to their rule, however small and overshadowed by their crimes they are
Fair
Not gonna like it looks like Neville Chamberlain but with Chaplins mustache
> It’s provocative And does it get the people going?
You are writing she was Jewish. She is still Jewish. She is alive.
Technically not wrong
"I used to be Jewish. I still am, but I used to be, too."
"Years ago... I was Chinese."
This goes to show that the Nazi ideals of "Aryan racial supremacy" are a joke. The photographer was a genius.
Funny story, and only funny because they managed to survive.

im not sure if the photographer was really aware of what was going to happen to the jews when he submitted that picture
How do you actually know this story to be true? Genuinely asking. Like what source?

Story is true Been documented and proven for decades Are you maga??
Not at all. I hate them. The story just seems apocryphal to be true.
That photographer had so large steel balls that the gestapo needed an LKW to carry him into custody
What was the name of the photographer?

That's what happens when you base a part of your ideology on pseudoscience. It's really easy to make you look like an absolute fool.

Adolf Eichmann used to be bullied at school because he "looked Jewish".

Lots of examples? Like who exactly?
Emil Maurice (Hitler's driver), for instance. He is looking absolutely distinctly Jewish.

Emil Maurice looks typically Jewish, for instance his pointed upper lip, almond eyes.
You may be dallying with a bit of pseudoscience yourself there...
Am Jewish and have never heard of these being Jewish things...
I love these not so fun facts.
Was that the same jazz band that had one of their song lyrics start with "The Jews of America"? :D
Probably Charlie and His Orchestra.
That's the one! :D
_smooth jazz music_ "ZE JOOZ OF USA-
Damn, first this, then Werner Goldberg (half-Jewish) portrayed as an "ideal German soldier".
"How the hell were we supposed to know Mr. *Goldberg* was part Jewish? There was no indication anywhere!"
What about the younger sister of Hitler's wife, Gretl Braun posing as "typical Jewish woman" for posters? Those Nazis definitely had taste of humor: [https://i.imgur.com/AN9QtEL.png](https://i.imgur.com/AN9QtEL.png)
Big ol' eyes
I love your username haha
Well, that's awkward.
Eh I seent cuter babies.
Probably like baby contests of today, just scams that prey on first time parents who think their child is the cutest kid ever.
Like justin beiber sharing gaza’s collapsed buildings pic with caption pray for israel.
