28x38" poster features art by Ben Shahn and shows hooded and handcuffed man w/"This Is Nazi Brutality" text along w/telegram design that reads "Radio Berlin. -- It Is Officially Announced: - All Men Of Lidice- Czechoslovakia - Have Been Shot: - The Women Deported To A Concentration Camp: - The Children Sent To Appropriate Centers -- The Name Of The Village Was Immediately Abolished. 6/1//42/115P." Lidice was a town completely destroyed by German forces in reprisal for the assassination of Reich Protector Reinhard Heydrich in the late spring of 1942. On June 10, 1942, all 173 men over 16 years of age from the village were executed. Several hundred women and over 100 children were deported to concentration camps; a few children considered racially suitable for re-education were handed over to SS families and the rest were sent to an extermination camp where they were gassed to death. This is one of just two posters designs by Shahn that were published, though its powerful depiction of brutality is a classic World War II poster and helped inform the world as to Nazi Germany's true character. Folded as issued w/some minor wear at fold creases intersections, poster is o/w Exc.
