Holocaust Resource Center posters, image 01
Description
Poster consists of photographs featuring various people. The middle photo (third from top) had a piece of paper stuck behind it it with identification of people in photo: "Logan Drola, Edith [Edythe], Deedagv, Teacher Mesquite" (handwriting is difficult to read, names be misspelled). Text printed on back of image reads: "Jews suffered persecution all over Nazi-occupied Europe. Persecutions and impositions on the Jews began immediately following Nazi military occupation of a conquered land in Europe. Their property was confiscated, and they were deprived of their subsistence by being denied the opportunity to work in their professions. They were press-ganged into forced labour, compelled to wear badges of shame. Their honour and that of their religion was dragged in the dust as synagogues were burnt, scared books desecrated, and public prayer banned. Individuals and groups were executed at the slightest pretence."
