Europa zuivert het oosten Possibly 1941 - 1946

"Europa zuivert het oosten" (Europe Purifies the East) is a newspaper clipping created by Anton Adriaan Mussert, the leader of the Dutch fascist movement, between 1941 and 1946. The clipping, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a text-based artwork that reflects the political climate of World War II and the collaborationist ideology of Mussert's movement. The artwork's title and content are indicative of the Nazi propaganda prevalent during the war, highlighting the racist and imperialistic views of the time. This historical document provides a glimpse into the darkest chapter of Dutch history, serving as a reminder of the dangers of fascism and the importance of fighting against all forms of intolerance.
