“Remember what Amalek did to you!” – Poster Designed by Pinchas Shuldenrein 1948

“Remember what Amalek did to you!”
Poster made after the Holocaust, as the horrific testimonies began emerging (1948).

“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.
