London: Sunday Mirror Magazine Section, 1935. A two-page newspaper spread with an image from a photograph of Emmy Sonnemann, an illustration of Esther, Niece of Mordecai and Goring as a paper doll with five (5) Nazi and other costumes. The editor's note indicates the Sunday Mirror had recently confirmed Gorings new wife was a Jewess. The article begins by wishfully comparing Emmy to Esther who became the bride of King Ahasuerus causing him to cease the wholesale killing and beating of the Jews in the provinces from India to Ethiopia. It goes on to reference how the paper determined her ancestry and implications and what she could do to possibly change the course of the world events. Obviously to no avail.
