EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful propaganda poster from the Spanish Civil War urges citizens to join the Antifascist Militia with the rallying cry "Allisteu-vos a les milicies antifeixistes." Created by Oliva Perotes in 1936-37, this striking image was used by the Republican side in their fight against Franco's Nationalists. The poster, commissioned by the Spanish General Union of Workers (UGT), calls on individuals to take up arms and defend democracy against fascism.
The bold colors and dynamic composition of this print capture the urgency and intensity of the conflict that tore Spain apart during this tumultuous period in history. The message is clear: it is time to stand up and fight for what is right, to resist oppression and tyranny.
As we look back on this turbulent chapter in Spanish history, we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought for freedom and justice. This poster serves as a poignant reminder of the power of propaganda in shaping public opinion and mobilizing support for a cause.
In Salamanca's Archivo Historico Nacional, this piece stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of those who stood up against fascism during one of Europe's darkest hours. Joining the Antifascist Militia was not just an act of defiance; it was a commitment to fighting for a better future for all.
