''Der Stürmer'' (, lit. "the Attacker") was a weekly tabloid-format Nazi newspaper published by Julius Streicher (a prominent official in the Nazi Party) from 1923 to the end of World War II, with brief suspensions in publication due to legal difficulties. It was a significant part of Nazi propaganda and was vehemently anti-Semitic.〔 Unlike the ''Völkischer Beobachter'' (translatable as ''The People's Observer''), the official party paper which gave itself an outwardly serious appearance, ''Der Stürmer'' often ran obscene material such as antisemitic caricatures of Jews and accusations of blood libel,〔Claudia Koonz, ''The Nazi Conscience'', p 228 ISBN 0-674-01172-4〕 as well as sexually explicit, anti-Catholic, anti-Communist, anti-capitalist and anti-monarchist propaganda. The newspaper originated at Nuremberg during Adolf Hitler's attempt to establish power and control. During that struggle, Streicher was accused by the opposition of the Nazi party as being "a liar, a coward, of having unsavory friends, mistreating his wife and of flirting with women". Despite the accusations, the first copy of ''Der Stürmer'' was published on April 20, 1923.〔''Holocaust Education and Archive Research Team.''Holocaust Research Project. 2009. Web. 21 Oct. 2009.〕 ''Der Stürmer''’s circulation grew over time, distributing to a large percentage of the German population as well as Argentina, Brazil, Canada and the United States. As early as 1933, Streicher was calling for the extermination of the Jews in ''Der Stürmer''. During the war, Streicher regularly authorized articles demanding the annihilation and extermination of the Jewish race.〔 After the war, he was convicted of crimes against humanity and executed.〔http://avalon.law.yale.edu/imt/judstrei.asp〕 ==Racist caricatures== ''Der Stürmer'' was best known for its effective antisemitic caricatures, which depicted Jews as ugly characters with exaggerated facial features and misshapen bodies. In his propaganda work, Streicher furthered old myths from the Middle Ages, e.g., that Jews killed children, sacrificed them and drank their blood. The large majority of these drawings were the work of Philipp Rupprecht, known as ''Fips'', who was one of the best-known anti-Semitic cartoonists of the "Third Reich". Through the adaptation and amalgamation of almost every existing anti-Semitic stereotype, myth and tradition, Rupprecht's virulent attacks aimed predominantly at the dehumanization and demonization of Jews.〔Linsler, Carl-Eric. ''Stürmer-Karikaturen'', in: Handbuch des Antisemitismus. Judenfeindschaft in Geschichte und Gegenwart, Bd. 7: Literatur, Film, Theater und Kunst, hrsg. von Wolfgang Benz, Berlin 2015, p. 477.〕 At the bottom of the title page there was always the motto ''"Die Juden sind unser Unglück!"'' ("The Jews are our misfortune!"), coined by Heinrich von Treitschke in the 1880s.〔Ben-Sasson, H.H., ed. (1976): ''A History of the Jewish People''. (Harvard University Press, Cambridge).
