A. MORRIS-FRIEDMAN & U. SCHÄDLER, “JUDEN R AUS!” (JEWS O UT!) 53 Fig. 6. Fabricius promotion flier (photograph U. Schädler). (Collection of Institute of Contemporary History and Wiener Library, London) Raus!” may not move along the city wall but only along the streets. The games are similar in that both have the red center point as well as the places outside the wheel/city wall where the captured pieces have to be assembled. Finally the hats especially designed for the capturing method of “Fang den Hut”, are also used to depict the captured Jews. This clearly demonstrates that it was this harmless and successful board game that inspired the anonymous author of “Juden Raus!”. Game History The facts concerning the history of the game are few and contradictory. A search of the state archive of Sachsen at Dresden showed that between 1935 and 1945 there were two companies with the name Günther & Co., the publisher of “Juden Raus!”. One of them had been canceled from the registry of trade by 1937. It is not known what type of com-

The second company is mentioned in the address-book for the first time in 1940. This company dealt with textiles. The owners were Kommerzienrat Georg Günther and his wife. The address of the company was Dresden A 16, Gabelsbergerstraße 25, and after 1945 Uhdestraße 33. The company existed until 1950. There is no evidence in the state archive that either of the two companies published this board game. However, the company address written on the rule sheet for “Juden Raus!” reads: Günther & Co, Dresden, A 16. Little information can be gathered about Rudolf Fabricius, the game’s distributor. From the archive of the city of Bad Neusalza-Spremberg comes the information that Fabricius (born 1902) was a dealer in food products. Since November 25, 1938 he registered as “Herstellung, Fabrikation, Vertrieb und Großhandel von und mit Neuheiten”. The flier promoting the game distributed by Fabricius was included in the donation of the game to the Institute of Contemporary History and Wiener Library. The flier dates December 5, 1938 and states that the game was now being sold at 33% off its regular price (figure 6).
