An Original Vintage Linenbacked Yugoslavian World War II Poster (measures 19" x 27 3/4" [48 x 70 cm]) (Learn More) Be Vigilant (literal translation of the Cyrillic text), the 1941 Yugoslavian anti-Semitic World War II (WWII) poster (with tagline that translates to "You do not know... be vigilant"). Note that this poster was created for the Grand Anti-Masonic Exhibition which opened in Belgrade and was organized by former members of the Yugoslav National Movement. The exhibit sought to expose an alleged Judeo-Masonic/Communist conspiracy for world domination through several displays featuring anti-Semitic propaganda. The Yugoslav National Movement (also known as the United Militant Labour Organization) was a fascist movement that started in 1935 and was led by Yugoslavian politician Dimitrije Ljotic. It was supported both financially and politically by Nazi Germany, who wanted to use it to make Yugoslavia easier to invade, but while the movement participated in the 1935 and 1938 Yugoslavian elections, it did not receive more than 1% of the vote in either, so ultimately, the Nazis changed course and invaded Yugoslavia in 1941 and occupied it. This poster was created in 1941, not that long before the Nazis invaded Yugoslavia, and it depicts anti-Semitic artwork of an elderly Jewish man tightening a noose around the necks of several businessmen. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine.
