Title
The Sacrifice
Description
"For humanity's sake."
A touching adaption of a sacred image, this idea that the mothers of Europe in sacrificing their sons, vowed to the destruction of Prussian Militarism, are inspired by the example of the Virgin. All the more necessary is it, then, to settle with ourselves what Militarist implies in European civilization, and what are the foundations of the Militarist State."
