"Baby picture of Hessy Levinsons, the Jewish winner of the most beautiful Aryan baby contest, published on the cover of the German publication, "Sonne ins Haus: Illustrierte Familienzeitschrift mit Versicherung."
"Hessy Levinsons was born in 1934. When she was six months old, Hessy was taken to a leading Berlin photographer to have her portrait taken. A few months later this picture appeared on the cover of the Nazi publication, "Sonne ins Haus" [Sun in the House]. Frightened by the possible consequences of their exposure as foreign-born Jews, Hessy's mother rushed to the photographer. He explained that he had known she was a Jewish child and had deliberately submitted her photograph to a contest for the most beautiful Aryan baby in order to ridicule Nazi racial theory, and Hessy was selected as winner of the contest among all the German babies." daqui
