EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative poster by Polish artist Wlodzimierz Zakrzewski captures the complex and often overlooked history of the Polish resistance during the second world war. Created in 1956, this poster was part of the communist propaganda campaign to promote the unity and cooperation between the Armia Ludowa (People's Army) and the Armia Krajowa (Home Army), two major resistance movements against the German occupation of Poland during the 20th century. The image depicts a soldier from each resistance movement standing side by side, their gazes fixed on the viewer, conveying a sense of determination and solidarity. The backdrop of the poster shows the ominous headquarters of the Gestapo, the Nazi secret police, emphasizing the danger and terror faced by the resistance fighters. The poster was produced during the postwar period, a time when Poland was under communist rule. The communist regime sought to rewrite history and present a unified front against the Nazi occupation, downplaying the differences between various resistance movements and emphasizing their common goals. The poster was created by Wlodzimierz Zakrzewski, a prominent Polish artist and graphic designer, who was known for his politically charged works. This poster is now on display at the Gestapo Museum in Krakow, Poland, serving as a reminder of the courage and resilience of the Polish people during the darkest days of the 20th century. The poster's title, "II Rzeczpospolita - We Are One," reflects the communist regime's efforts to present a united front and erase the complexities of Poland's wartime history. Despite the propaganda intentions, this poster remains a powerful symbol of the Polish resistance and a testament to the enduring spirit of the Polish people.
