Anti-communist and anti-Semitic propaganda poster

An anti-Communist propaganda poster with an anti-Semitic tone, originating from the times of Nazi occupation in Poland. It was printed on newsprint. It depicts a symbolic scene of fighting against Bolshevism: a German soldier is preparing to strike a Red Army soldier with the butt of his rifle. The figures are presented in contrast: the German stands upright in full uniform, "nobly" towering over the calm urban landscape, while the Bolshevik is hunched, partially naked, with caricatured facial features, and with his bayonet piercing women and children, with burning buildings at his feet and smoke billowing behind him. Across the poster, there is a text in Polish (in red font): "Śmierć żydowsko-bolszewickiej zarazie mordowania!" (Death to the Jewish-Bolshevik plague of murdering!).
