Anziehen - mitkommen," which translates as "Get dressed - come along," is a short German phrase that, in the context of the subjects listed, reads as an order given to people being taken away. The print was issued in Stuttgart in 1948, only a few years after the war ended, when German publishers and artists were beginning to confront the persecution of Jews under the Nazi regime. Its title alone conveys the abrupt, impersonal nature of arrest and deportation, which is why it remains a useful document of how the period was portrayed in the immediate postwar years.
