This poster was created by the Council of Youth Movements in Israel with the slogan “Let my People Go” that was used in the protest to free Soviet Jews of the USSR, as well several other human rights’ protests over the years.

The background of the poster is red, and in the centre there is an image of a man’s head. The right-hand side of the man’s head can be seen, whilst the left-hand side is hidden in darkness. The visible side of his face is frozen in a scream, and the head is surrounded by loops of barbed wire, symbolising imprisonment.

The poster was created by the Council of Youth Movements that was involved in the protest to free Soviet Jewry in the 1960s and 1970s. This global campaign was intended to put pressure on Soviet leaders to allow the Jews living in the USSR freedom of belief and religious practice and the right to leave the USSR.
