Image description

A British Second World War poster issued by the Ministry of Health to prevent evacuees returning back to urban areas due to the imminent threat of bombing raids. The illustration shows a mother undecided as to whether to leave her children in the countryside or to bring them home. Behind her, a ghostly Adolf Hitler attempts to sway her toward the latter, putting her entire family at risk rather than just the adults. By Ministry of Health
