Anti-Semit

Anti-Semit was a brand of tobacco sold by the Nazi Party from 1920 in order to raise funds.[1] Its name reflected the anti-Semitic stance of the Party. The idea was not unique, as in the 1920s and 1930s, four brands of cigarette were produced by the Sturm cigarette factory to raise money for the Party's Sturmabteilung.[2]
