Gruber, Ruth Ellen. Beyond Virtually Jewish: New Authenticities and Real Imaginary Spaces in Europe // The Jewish Quarterly Review 99 (4). Fall 2009. DOI:10.1353/jqr.0.0064. с. 487 – 504. My experience at Anatewka was my first with that particular line of money-clutching Jewish figurine, but identical figures are now for sale by the score in certain venues in Krakow and Warsaw. Jews and their supposed special association with money are a long-standing, often negative, stereotype and the frequent subject of paintings and other imagery. Poles have explained that there is a 'tradition of Polish people placing pictures of Jews with money in their hands near the entrance doors of their homes as a good luck omen.'
