Close Reading 3.30

This image was found on the cover of La Luz magazine on August 25, 1933. The future imagined by the artist does not look too far off from what would eventually unfold, though there is no indication that the people being crushed by the giant swastika are Jewish (or Roma, etc.)

The fact that even across the Atlantic diasporic Jews were terrified for the future of their coreligionists indicates that there was a strong sense of community, even across great distances and cultural divides.

  1. Alyssa,
    This is such a moving image, striking for its understanding of what was to come–thank you for choosing it. Do you want to clarify where LA LUZ was published and what difference this might make? Excellent job using H5P to annotate the different aspects of it. Well done!
    best,
    Laura
