The elevated position of the money in relation to the Torah scroll, Judaism's most holy book, suggests that material values had replaced Jewish spiritual and ethical teachings. The juxtaposition of money and Jews was a favorite theme of Nazi propaganda. The cartoon's artist, Philipp Rupprecht, signed his work "FIPS," and was a frequent front-page contributor to Julius Streicher's crude antisemitic newspaper, Der Stürmer.

They not only played a vital role in preserving Jewish culture, but were also, from the point of view of Nazi ideology, responsible for the totally negative effects of Jewish influence upon German culture. The Nazis believed that the Jews were responsible for every intellectual movement of which they disapproved. This included, most importantly, all forms of cultural modernism. These Viennese-Jewish intellectuals, imprisoned in the Mauthausen, Austria, concentration camp, paid a heavy price for this Nazi prejudice.

The Fifth Army followed in their footsteps, pursuing the Germans as they retreated over the Apennine Mountains. Although progress was slow and casualties were heavy, the Fifth Army slowly made its way north until the winter snows brought progress to a halt near the Rapido River.
