Few wartime posters pair the Statue of Liberty with Yiddish lettering as this one does, addressing readers in the language of many of New York's Jewish immigrants. Yiddish was the everyday tongue of a large community that had arrived from Eastern Europe in the decades before the world wars, and Yiddish-language papers and posters reached readers who did not yet read English comfortably. The statue, long a symbol of arrival and refuge, appears alongside immigrant figures, linking American citizenship with the shared duty of the war effort. The design is worth studying for how it tried to speak to a community whose loyalty was being urged in its own language.
