Frenchmen, Remember! Large, Sharp Poster on Behalf of the Jewish Union for Resistance and Aid - Paris, After the War
Francais Souvenez-vous! [Frenchmen, Remember!] Poster on behalf of the UJRE [Union des juifs pour la résistance et l'entraide - Jewish Union for Resistance and Aid], Paris, after WWII, French. Rare.
Large poster, photograph at center of a Jewish muselmann lying on a bunk in a concentration camp, [photographed at Auschwitz] against a backdrop of an SS soldier on parade. Surrounded by the caption: "180,000 Frenchmen were deported 1941-1944, 120,000 of whom were Jews. Only 3000 returned. The Paris and Bonn agreements must be prevented so that we don't return to the era of the Gestapo and the SS." These were in reference to the agreements whose purpose was to increase the independence of West Germany and to continue its integration into the Western Bloc, which would mean the renewed strengthening of Germany's power. The poster was printed for the UJRE [Jewish Union for Resistance and Aid], which was established in 1943 in the framework of the French resistance, and operated in various ways to reduce Germany's power.
119x76 cm. Affixed to a fabric mat for display and preservation 125x81 cm. Very fine condition.
