"Don't Be A Sucker" is an anti-discrimination film which was produced
during World War II by the Army Signal Corps for use with the armed
forces. After the war, a shortened version of the film was widely
shown both commercially and under educational auspices. In 1947, the
Department of Scientific Research of the American Jewish Committee
undertook to study the impact of the film.־'־

Phillip Moysey (13 July 1912 - 7 March 1991) was an English artist who lived in Kent, inspired by the people and landscapes of the county.
During the 1930s, Moysey worked at several London advertising agencies, including Lintas Ltd from 1935 alongside Keith Vaughan (1912 - 1977). In 1939, he met the Austrian expressionist artist Oskar Kokoschka (1886–1980) in Cornwall. The two men became lifelong friends and Kokoschka served as mentor to Philip Moysey, culminating in Moysey teaching at Kokoschka's School of Seeing in Salzburg from 1976-7. Moysey's work is collected by an international array of collectors however his outings at auctions has been limited to one sale of 20th Century British art at Christies'. The painter's painter, his work is not widely known outside the mainstream art world, but as Kokoschka wrote in The Observer magazine, "He does splendid nature paintings that no modern art-dealer will buy, for nature is out of fashion. Perhaps he will be discovered when he is dead."[1][2][3]
