In January 1940, there was an exhibition of Szyk’s work in London. One critic pointed out: "There are three leading motives in the exhibition: the brutality of the Germans – and the more primitive savagery of the Russians, the heroism of the Poles, and the suffering of the Jews. The cumulative effect of the exhibition is immensely powerful because nothing in it appears to be a hasty judgment, but part of the unrelenting pursuit of an evil so firmly grasped that it can be dwelt upon with artistic satisfaction.An anthology of Szyk’s anti-Fascist paintings appeared in his book, The New Order in 1940.
