According to Jewish Heritage expert Samuel D. Gruber, "In the 1920s, Gropper began work as a staff cartoonist for the Yiddish Morning Freiheit. His many scathing cartoon attacks on capitalism in the Freiheit often included variants of typical anti-Semitic stereotypes. He also was a regular contributor English language left-wing publications such as the Daily Worker and the World. He was a founder of New Masses, to which he contributed some of his best political work, including, after Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, attacks on Hitler and Nazi aggression."
