Altona's Opfertag, 18. Januar 1916: A Call to Generosity and Sacrifice This evocative poster, created in 1916, serves as a poignant reminder of Altona's Opfertag, or Offering Day, a day dedicated to charitable giving and support for the war effort during World War I. The image features a German soldier in uniform, standing tall and resolute, with a determined expression on his face. In the background, a woman, her face etched with concern and worry, is surrounded by her children, their small, anxious expressions reflecting the hardships of the war. The text at the bottom of the poster, written in German, reads, "Altona's Offering Day, 18th of January 1916: Contribute generously to the war aid." The image and text work together to create a powerful message, urging the people of Altona to come together in solidarity and support those affected by the war. The poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during times of conflict and the importance of community and generosity in times of need. The image of the soldier and the worried mother and children serves to highlight the human cost of war and the importance of coming together to support those affected. The call to action, to contribute generously to the war aid, underscores the collective responsibility of the community to support those in need during times of crisis. This poster is a powerful reminder of the past and the enduring importance of compassion, generosity, and community support, especially during times of hardship and adversity.
