German language booklet with an illustration on shehitah (kosher slaughtering) addressing the subject from the both religious perspective and from the perspective of animal rights by R. Joseph Unna. The title-page futher describes is as “eine gemeinverständliche Darstellung von Rabbiner Dr. J. Unna, Mannheim (a basic understanding by rabbi Unna).” The verso of the title-page states the viewpoint of the book beginning “ritual slaughtering is a religious rule of Judaism. A ban on the shehitiah would therefore put all faithful Jews in most difficult position.” The text is in six chapters accompanied by a two-part full-page illustration. In Europe of the interwar years, restrictions were imposed on ritual slaughter, by various anti-Semitic organizations acting under the guise of prevention of cruelty to animals.
