This is Nazi brutality

A powerful reminder

A grim poster by Ben Shahn.  It relays the horror of Lidice.  Lidice was a Czech mining village that was obliterated by the Nazis in retaliation for the 1942 shooting of a Nazi official by two Czechs. All men of the village were killed in a 10-hour massacre; the women and children were sent to concentration camps. The destruction of Lidice became a symbol for the brutality of Nazi occupation during World War II. This poster is 38" x 28" and is one of the more famous propaganda posters from that period.
