In view of horrors of Third Reich and Holocaust, it is safe to assume that systematic, negative inscription of difference between self and other in early part of twentieth century was nowhere in West as strongly manifested as in German culture. The years 1918-1933, in particular, that period which leads up to dictatorship of NSDAP, constitute historical and cultural period whose cultural stereotypingwould turn an entire people into an Other to be exterminated during Nazism. There was certainly a wide enough variety of stereotypical portrayal of otherness, as Weimar culture abounds with types: proletarian mother (as exemplified by KIithe Kollwitz), prostitute (best known as portrayed by Otto Dix), new woman, Negro, homosexual, and the Jew, all of which are ubiquitous in cultural textum of German 1920s
