"THE FATHER - THE COMMANDER"
Anti-Semitic, anti-Marxist German propaganda poster, 22 1/2" x 33 3/4", pictures a large crimson Star of David at center with a portrait of Jewish Marxist Karl Radel within, surrounded by portraits of other Soviet and German "agitators". At bottom appears the legend: "The Father - the commander". One horizontal fold, else very good, simply framed. KARL RADEK (1885-1939) was a Marxist active in the Polish and German social democratic movements before World War I and an international Communist leader after the Russian Revolution. He founded the German Communist Party and sought to pull workers' support away from the Nazis to the left.
