United in Common Cause: Black, White & Jew in Common Cause...New York, 1943 Szyk thru the Past | How to pronounce "Szyk" The Society recently discovered this powerful drawing, which Arthur Szyk originally created for the New York State Committee on Discrimination in Employment. At the height of World War II, a unifying message was needed to join America's ethnic and religious groups together in common cause. The faces of the figures above reflect the seriousness of their endeavor on behalf of the American military which is represented by the tank behind them. New York's Governor Dewey declined using this image as a poster at that time.
