A 1916 lithograph announces a charity concert in French, with proceeds promised for the disabled and widows of Jewish legionnaires. The poster is signed by the artist Abel Pann, who was known for work on Jewish subjects. Its subject tags also point to mothers and children, reflecting how wartime aid fell on families left without fathers and breadwinners. Benefit events like this were a common way for communities away from the front to support their own men and the households they left behind.
