Among the costumes, colorful displays and general revelry, one cry of protest stood out in the crowd.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This was an exhibit designed by a group of Jewish immigrants from the Caucasus region. It displayed Hitler on horseback, pursuing two Jews as they ran terrified before him. They appeared beaten and bruised. The exhibit was titled, &#8220;Hitler in Pursuit and the Land of Israel Remains Locked Shut&#8221;. A sign was hung on Hitler&#8217;s neck, reading &#8220;Death to All Jews&#8221;. We were unfortunately unable to find a photograph of this particular exhibit in the archives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The German Consulate heard of the stunt and sent a sharp letter of rebuke to Tel Aviv Mayor Meir Dizengoff, written in English.
