The given poster features a Jewish man sitting on a big sack of money. It is intentionally exaggerated, portrayal of Jews. The man is sitting on money bag, emphasizing the stereotype that Jews are obsessed with wealth and financial gain. The poster aims to dehumanize Jews by portraying them as greedy, unscrupulous, and morally corrupt. I think that this poster is one of the propaganda which fuels anti-Jewish sentiment among the German population. The imagery reduces Jews to a single negative trait (greed), making it easier to justify their mistreatment.
