Anti-American propaganda poster highlighting Nazi objections to what were perceived as 'American culture'. These include: The sexual promiscuity of American women; gangsterism and gun violence; materialism and commercialism, blacks and black degenerate music; indiscriminate US bombing ('terror-fliegen'), American jingoism and militarism; the malevolent influence of Jews and Freemasons.<br/><br/> The poster, which manages to pack in a great deal of anti-American, racist imagery, smacks of growing Nazi desperation as the Alied invasion of Europe looms.
Peranakan Chinese and Baba-Nyonya are terms used for the descendants of late 15th and 16th-century Chinese immigrants to the Malay-Indonesian archipelago of Nusantara during the Colonial era.<br/><br/> Members of this community in Malaysia identify themselves as 'Nyonya-Baba' or 'Baba-Nyonya'. Nyonya is the term for the females and Baba for males. It applies especially to the ethnic Chinese populations of the British Straits Settlements of Malaya and the Dutch-controlled island of Java and other locations, who adopted partially or in full Malay-Indonesian customs to become partially assimilated into the local communities.<br/><br/> While the term Peranakan is most commonly used among the ethnic Chinese for those of Chinese descent also known as Straits Chinese (土生華人; named after the Straits Settlements), it may also be applied to the Baba-Yaya community in Phuket and other provinces of southern Thailand.
Among the music listed by the Nazis as degenerate was music composed by Jews, atonal music, music with obvious sexuality, and Jazz due to its African American origins. The saxophone was banned in Nazi Germany.<br/><br/> The Entarte Music logo is an obscenely distorted picture of the original poster for the opera Johnny Spielt Auff, with the black saxophonist displaying a Star of David in his coat, rather than a flower.<br/><br/> The opera, combining classical opera techniques with jazz, Broadway, and spirituals, was hailed by many and disdained by some when it debuted in 1927. Later, it became a symbol for the most filthy degenerate art during Nazism.
