US poster stamp addressing Polish Jews
overall: Height: 1.750 inches (4.445 cm) | Width: 1.000 inches (2.54 cm)
Poster stamp issued and distributed in 1942 by the American Federation for Polish Jews. Although they were not valid for postage, poster stamps could be affixed to letters and envelopes as fund-raising, propaganda, and educational tools. The American Federation for Polish Jews was founded in 1908 in New York City as the Federation of Russian-Polish Hebrews, and changed their name in the 1920s. During the Holocaust, the American Federation coordinated with the World Federation to provide relief and assistance to Jews living in Poland. Despite the promise printed on the stamp to not turn their back on European Jews, the United States government made it increasingly difficult for refugees to enter the country. Prior to entering the war in 1941, the State Department feared infiltration and espionage, and required multiple moral and financial affidavits in addition to a number of other documents for those wishing to enter the country. Additionally, they maintained a strict quota system, which restricted the number of visas granted each year. Fleeing Europe became even more difficult in July 1941 when U.S. consulates closed in Nazi-occupied territories, including Poland.

Rectangular poster stamp on cream paper with a brown and light green printed image. The bottom edge is unperforated. The image in the center features a family of three with a silhouette of the Statue of Liberty, overlaying a light green background. In the back is a man wearing a dark brimmed hat and dark coat, facing towards the right, and with his left hand raised in a wave. In front of him is a woman wearing a dark coat and a light-colored headscarf tied under her chin. She is clutching her hands, and facing towards the viewer. On the right is a young boy wearing a pageboy cap and coat, facing the statue with his right hand raised and pointing. In the lower right corner of the image is a marking. The slogan is printed in a brown rectangle at the top and the distributing organization is printed in a brown rectangle below the image. There is no adhesive on the back.
