This poster includes several visual clues and symbols to highlight the necessity of war bonds by the American public during the World War II era. The use of young children with a sinister swastika creeping in on them evokes a sense of urgency for parents to act and protect their children. Interpretations might lead students to think about propaganda posters and patriotism during wartime. Extensions may include conversations of World War II posters and use of propaganda on the homefront during wartime. http://www.cooperhewitt.org/2014/12/21/throwing-some-serious-shade/ https://learninglab.si.edu/collections/world-war-ii-homefront-posters/xFuyHjNwh7n0MV8j
