Cloth print with image of soldiers in prayer. Floral border with Star of David at top. Top in Hebrew: "We all have one father, one God who created us." Bottom: "Yom Kippur Services, 1871, in the camp overlooking Metz."
The pictured scene never actually occurred, but was invented to foster patriotism among German Jews. Soldiers in the background (intended to be Christian Germans) stand to protect those in prayer.
