Holocaust Memorial day.
Holocaust Memorial Day is the anniversary of the day in 1945, when allied troops entered the largest concentration camp Auschwitz.
Today I wish to add my respects to Holocaust Survivors , and remember all those who suffered and perished.
This day is a reminder that reasonable people rationalise poisonous words of hate, to dehumanise and justify inhumanity.
Better to harness the positive power of words to build bridges, to create and not to destroy.
1944, Auschwitch ll Berkenau where the images I used at the top of this painting were found on the walls of the concentration camp, drawn for the children. The figures I have painted below are of Hungarian Jewish Children and an Elderly Woman on their the way to the Gas Chambers .
