An Unfolded German Art Exhibition Poster (measures 23 1/4" x 33" [59 x 84 cm]) (Learn More) Kampf Dem Krebs (literally translates to "Fight the Cancer"), the 1931 German poster encouraging people to visit the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum (German Hygiene Museum), and featuring art of a crab (the astrological symbol for Cancer, the fourth astrological sign in the Zodiac). "Krebs" in German can mean cancer or crabs, so this poster is playing on that by having a picture of a crab along with a tagline that says "fight the cancer". The poster also mentions "Thursdays just for women", so there was likely a female-oriented program at that time.
