Two Posters of American Jewish Relief Appeal. In Yiddish and in English.

(RUSSIA).

(Philadelphia)

(1922)

Black and white photographic illustrations revealing most graphically the horrors of war and pogrom.

In the aftermath of World War One and the Russian Civil War, funds were desperately needed for reconstruction and relief. The texts of the two posters are almost identical - one in Yiddish, the other in English. The Philadelphia Campaign was part of a nationwide effort to raise the sum of 14 million dollars.
