1941 original poster by Simo tribute to the mass execution of Châteaubriant

1941

About the Item

Crafted in 1941, the original poster by Simo stands as a poignant tribute to the victims of a tragic event in French history: the mass execution of resistance fighters in Châteaubriant on October 22, 1941. This solemn commemoration, depicted in the poster, serves as a reminder of the courage and sacrifice of those who bravely resisted the Nazi occupation during World War II. The poster, likely distributed as a form of propaganda or memorialization, honors the memory of the individuals who were executed by the German military authorities in retaliation for acts of resistance. Its imagery and text convey a sense of reverence and solidarity with the fallen heroes, evoking a profound emotional response from viewers. While specific details about the design of the poster are scarce, its purpose is clear: to honor the memory of those who gave their lives in the fight against oppression and tyranny. By immortalizing their sacrifice in print, the poster ensures that their courage and commitment to freedom will never be forgotten. Political - Literature - War Barbarians wanted to kill them, they made them immortal. Georges Politzer
