EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful poster, created by the Deutscher Heimatbund Posener Fluchtlinge (German Association for Posen Refugees) in 1919, calls for the people of Posen, Germany to join the local militia, Grenzschutz, in an effort to free the city from Polish rule. The image of the city hall in Posen, prominently displayed in the poster, serves as a symbol of the German heritage and identity that the association sought to protect. The text, "Befreit die Heimat von polnischer Willkurherrschaft," translates to "Free the Homeland from Polish Tyranny," emphasizing the sense of urgency and the belief that Polish rule was an unwelcome imposition. The use of the word "Heimat," or homeland, further underscores the emotional connection that many Germans in Posen felt towards the city and their cultural heritage. The poster reflects the political tensions and ethnic conflicts that emerged in the aftermath of World War I and the redrawing of borders in Europe. It serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and often contentious history of the region.
