In the lithograph, Rosenthal urged the world to, “Never forgive or forget.” He had a great passion and respect for the struggles of working Americans an affinity and sensibility formed from his exposure to the Ashcan and WPA artists of the period. as well as a deep love of his Jewish faith, both of which are amplified in his renderings.
