Description:-

Historical poster from 1947-1948 comemorating all the horrors that the Jews had gone through by the Goyim throughout time.

The poster comes with impressive illustration by Pinchas Schuldenrein, depicting the persecutions suffered by the Jewish people throughout the ages along with the books which were subsequently written on the subject: The enslavement in Egypt and the Passover Haggadah / The devastation of the temple and the Book of Lamentations / The events of 1648-49 and the book of Yaven Metzulah / The expulsion from Spain and the book Emek Habakha.

The historical events are linked by clock hands, under which appears a drawing of a skeleton pointing to the symbolic number “6,000,000”, a feather (for writing) and a line commanding: “Sammelt un Vorzeichnet” – collect and write-down, referring to the role of the Central Historical Committee in documenting the history of the Jews at the time of the Holocaust.

The artist Pinchas Schuldenrein was born in Poland and studied in the Warsaw Academy of Arts. After the Holocaust he established an art studio in the area of the displaced-persons camp in Zeilsheim with the aid of the JDC, where he created his famous work � “Yizkor”. He gave some art lessons to children in the displaced-persons camps and his work was influenced by the Holocaust. In 1947 he immigrated to the USA and settled in New York. A few years later he changed his name to Paul Sharon. In New York he worked as an independent graphic artist and for the Schlesinger Brothers, until his death in 1998.
