The island of Borkum prided itself on being an entire area without Jewish guests. Read about it here.
The postcard depicts a large crowd of "Christian" Germans enjoying a meal and a concert at the resort. On the right there is a Jewish family who want to enter the hotel / restaurant and the manager says: "Those with flat feet that must leave! Go away!"
At bottom there are the lyrics to the infamous "Borkum Song" which sings the praises of the resort's "exclusive" policy
