This is Nazi Brutality, color offset lithograph printed by the United States Office of War Information (American propaganda bureau active during World War II). Washington, 1942. Design: Ben Shahn. English.
Illustration of a chained prisoner surrounded by brick walls; his head is covered with a hood. In the center is a caption reading "This is Nazi Brutality" and an official German notice of the destruction of the village of Lidice (Czechoslovakia) by the Nazis.
