"Zechor Et Asher Asa Lecha Amalek!" [Remember what Amalek did to you!], illustrated poster printed by the Central Historical Commission at the Central Committee of Liberated Jews in the American Zone of Occupation in Germany. Munich, [probably 1948].
A poster with a remarkable illustration by Pinchas Shuldenrein (signed in print) portraying how the Jewish people was persecuted throughout history and the books that were written on the subject: slavery in Egypt and the Passover Haggadah; destruction of the Temple and the Book of Lamentations; the decrees of 1648 and 1649 and the book "Yeven Metzula"; the expulsion from Spain and the book "Emek Ha-Bacha".
The historical occurrences link the hands of a clock. Below appears a drawing of a skeleton pointing at the symbolic figure “6000000”, a feather (for writing) and a command: “zamlt un fartsaykhnt” - gather and record - referring to the role of the historical commission regarding documenting Jewish history during the Holocaust.
60X42 cm. Good condition. Folding marks and creases. Tears on folding marks. Two tears on horizontal folding mark, restored with adhesive tape.
From the collection of Dr Simon Cohen.
