Scope and Content

Two American propaganda leaflets in Hungarian warning Hungarian people that the perpetrators of the Holocaust will be brought to justice. The first leaflet is titled “Te Is Mosod Kezeidet?” [“Will you, too, wash your hands of this?!”] and is illustrated with a pair of hairy hands washing-up in a bowl. On the reverse is an image of blind justice and a quote from President Roosevelt. The second is illustrated with a uniformed man carrying a gun in a doorway and asks “Kellett Ez Nektek?” [“Did you Need this?”].
