Its text urges Germans not to "strangle young freedom" with disorder and fratricide, warning that otherwise "your children will starve." The 1919 color lithograph appeals to a divided nation in the year after the armistice of November 1918. Germany was then hit by food shortages from the wartime blockade, and by political street fighting, including the January Spartacist uprising in Berlin, as the new republic struggled to take shape. The poster's focus on boys and on brothers turned against one another makes the appeal personal, tying civil conflict to the fate of the next generation.
