c. 1952

Large central image featuring a terrified Auschwitz inmate, as SS soldiers goose-step from the right. Text reads (in part): "180,000 Frenchmen were Deported 1941-1944, 120,000 of Whom were Jews. Only 3,000 Returned…The Paris and Bonn Agreements Must be Prevented so that we do not Return to the Era of the Gestapo and the SS."

Relates to negotiations seeking to integrate West Germany into the Western Bloc. The poster was issued by the UJRE (Union des Juifs pour la Résistance et l'entraide - The Jewish Union for Resistance and Mutual Aid) which actively sought to prevent the potential strengthening of a post-war Germany.
