The first two words, "Dire Arbeit" and a drawing of a scroll on the bottom center of the page depicting Adolf Hitler's name, are in red ink. The remainder of the quote and the appropriate days of poster viewing are in black ink. The poster reads, "Dir arbeit ehrt die Frau wie den Mann. Das kind aber adelt die Mutter." Or, 'Work honors the woman as the man. The child however ennobles the mother." |
