Description:

  • In this picture, a mourning mother wears the gold medal in memory of her son who has died fighting for the Italian Social Republic. “Don’t betray my son,” she says. She is representative of all the mothers whose sons fought and died in the war (in this case, for the RSI) and hers is an exhortation to not give up on the cause. Signed by Gino Boccasile (1901-1952) an Italian illustrator, and a supporter of Benito Mussolini. Boccasile produced propaganda material for his government, including several racist and anti-semitic posters.
