= Very rare catalogue for the exhibition held in Gebouw De Geelvinck, Amsterdam, in August 1936. The exhibition was meant as a counter-exhibition to the Art Olympiad that coincided with the games, and from which Josef Goebbels, the regime's propaganda chief, excluded Jews, leftists and purveyors of 'degenerate' art. The exhibition brought together over 250 works by 150 artists from 8 different countries, incl. works by Peter Alma, Robert Capa, Paul Citroen, Fré Cohen, Max Ernst, Hildo Krop, Chris Lebeau, Fernand Léger, Frans Masereel, Cas Oorthuys, Karl Schwesig, Charlie Toorop, August Tschinkel and Jan Wiegers. The show also included documentation, cartoons, photographs and drawings illustrating Nazi repression and manipulation of education, science, theater, literature, film and music. In response to intense pressure from German diplomats, the Dutch authorities insisted on the removal of 19 works of art from the 1936 show on the ground that they were insulting to Hitler. Further, when the show later travelled to Rotterdam, it was closed by the Dutch police after only a few days. Two versions of the catalogue were published: one with the 'insulting' works still included and another without them. This copy is the earlier version, including the works that were later removed, i.a. Tijdsbeeld 1934 by Harmen Meurs and 33 drawings by Carl Schwesig of his own torture by the SA in Düsseldorf, Drie dagen in de folterkamer. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XXXII.
