194584546Prokuplje: Prekomurac Printing House October 1945. 40cm x 30cm. Single sheet of newsprint style paper printed recto only with a printer's error to the bottom right corner where the paper has been folded over as it entered the press so a fragment of the text is printed in error to the verso. Some trifling toning to the edges otherwise a very good example indeed and an almost miraculous survival.<br /> <br /> Simultaneously a call to action a plea for political support and a memorial to the great deeds of the women of the DobriÄ Province during WW2 distributed by the People's Front Party and the Anti-Fascist Women's Front of what would become the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia;<br /> <br /> "Mothers Wives Sisters and the Many Great Sons and Daughters of the Good Men who are Missed!" would be an approximate translation of the sub-heading. <br /> <br /> The main body of text printed in cyrillic goes on to list the wartime exploits of these women and less specifically their men; "We will never forget the sacrifice of the women from Dobrich who went day and night summer and winter throught the mountains and valleys of our region and brought our famous partisans clothes food ammuniotion and information. The ferocious occupier and his informants our home-grown traitors knew of these deeds and that is why they persecuted you women in particular. But neither prisons nor beatings nor camps nor shootings nor the burning of your houses truly swayed you from the right path for the good of The People." <br /> <br /> The text goes on to detail the immmediate post war collective efforts of these women; caring for the wounded adopting orphaned children and helping with the provincial administration both for the living and the dead. These actions it is maintained strengthened the People's Front to the point where it has become the only clear choice for the future of the region; the women of "Fighting DobriÄ" therefore must ensure their vote in the upcoming elections is cast for the People's Front so as to "elect worthy sons of the people as our representatives in the Constituent Assembly."<br /> The dense and rather understandably enthused broadsheet concludes with the patriotic cheer:<br /> <br /> "Long Live The People's Front!<br /> Long Live the First Free Elections in Our Country!<br /> Long Live Women's Rights and Freedoms!<br /> Long Live the Frontline Soldiers of the DobriÄki Section!<br /> Long Live Our Candidates!<br /> Long Live The Anti-Fascist Women's Front of Yugoslavia!"<br /> <br /> A courageous and uncompromising piece of antifascist ephemera from a region that was subject to a brutal Wehrmacht campaign assisted by local Chetnik collaborators and the UstaÅ¡e forces that was rightfully regarded as genocidal ethnic cleansing in post-war analyses. The Yugoslav Partisans however refused to capitulate and supported by an increasingly decimated local population fought relentlessly until the collapse of the Reich before victoriously proclaiming the foundation of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. No examples of this piece appear in OCLC and no trace can be found of its distribution in the public record. Prekomurac Printing House unknown
