Abstract: In this study, the role of the anti-Semitic discourses created by media organs in the formation of the Wealth Tax was examined. For this purpose, in this study, anti-Semitic cartoons published before the Wealth Tax, specifically Karikatür Magazine, which is one of the journals that frequently include anti-Semitic propaganda discourses of the period, are analysed using the semiotics technique In the cartoons examined within the scope of the study, it is revealed that Jews are presented as money-goers, hoarders and people with great wealth. The findings of the study support the view that ‘anti-Semitic discourses built in the media play a role in the implementation of the Wealth Tax’.
