VIENNA TO AUSCHWITZ
Acrylic on paper, 18x24", 2024
Many Jews in pre-Nazi Europe believed that being 'good citizens' protected them from antisemitism. Obey the laws. Pay your taxes. Smile. One day, a warm goose down quilt, the next, standing room only for three days and nights in a frigid cattle car to the Auschwitz death camp. And then the gas chamber. Can you even imagine? How could this slime of evilness be an everyday holiness?
-In the Holocaust Art Research Center permanent collection of Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center, Jerusalem.
-Exhibited by the Gross-Rosen Muzeum, Rogoznica, Poland.
