Description: In 2020, it will be 100 years since the referendum on the location of the Danish-German border took place. Up until the vote, there was agitation on the loose, not least with the help of the posters that play the main role in this book. The years just after World War I were a chaotic time of upheaval. Europe needs to find a new balance. This is reflected, among other things, in the border changes that took place in 1920-21. Some borders were moved according to the dictates of the victors of the war, while others were based on polls that took into account the minds of the people and the right to self-determination. Today we can see what consequences the setting of boundaries had and how the development was in the long run. But with the posters as an entrance, we come close to the events, arguments, concerns and hopes of a time when nothing was yet certain. We fall into a time pocket that brings us into the lives of the people of that time and their worldview

2020 er det 100 år siden, at afstemningen om den dansk-tyske grænses placering fandt sted. Op til afstemningen blev der agiteret på livet løs, ikke mindst ved hjælp af de plakater, som spiller hovedrollen i denne bog. Årene lige efter 1. Verdenskrig var en kaotisk opbrudstid. Europa skulle finde en ny balance. Det afspejler sig blandt andet i de grænseændringer, der fandt sted i 1920-21. Nogle grænser blev flyttet efter diktat fra krigens sejrherrer, mens andre byggede på afstemninger, der tog hensyn til befolkningens sindelag og selvbestemmelsesret. I dag kan vi se, hvilke konsekvenser grænsernes fastlæggelse fik, og hvordan udviklingen blev i det lange løb. Men med plakaterne som indgang kommer vi tæt på begivenhederne, argumenterne, bekymringerne og forhåbningerne fra en tid, hvor intet endnu var sikkert. Vi falder ned i en tidslomme, der bringer os ind på livet af datidens mennesker og deres verdenssyn.
