About the Item

This original 1945 poster, Patrie – Journal des Combattants Français, was published by the French Ministry of War as a stark reminder of the atrocities committed under the Nazi regime. Issued in the immediate aftermath of World War II, it serves as a powerful piece of historical documentation, reinforcing the necessity of remembrance and justice. At the center of the composition, the message is clear: De toutes ces atrocités, le national-socialisme et tous ses partisans sont responsables, nous ne devons pas oublier cela (Of all these atrocities, National Socialism and all its followers are responsible. We must not forget this). This statement underscores the moral imperative of holding the perpetrators accountable and ensuring that such horrors are never repeated. This poster was part of an extensive effort to educate the public on the scale of the crimes uncovered in concentration camps across Europe. With images sourced from locations such as Dachau, Buchenwald, Ravensbrück, and Belsen, it exposes the harrowing reality of the Nazi concentration and extermination camps. The French government, like other Allied nations, sought to ensure that the suffering of millions would not be erased from memory, particularly as Europe began its long process of reconstruction. The publication Patrie, which translates to "Homeland," was a journal aimed at French soldiers and the broader public, providing wartime and post-war news, as well as reinforcing national unity. This poster is a testament to the post-war reckoning, urging vigilance against ideologies of hatred and reinforcing the commitment to justice and remembrance. A historical artifact of undeniable significance, this piece remains a sobering reminder of the atrocities of war and the importance of collective memory in safeguarding the future. War 39-45 - Fascism - Germany For all these atrocities, National Socialism and all its supporters are responsible, we must not forget that. Jews - Dachau - Belsen Printed by Georges Dangon in Paris
