During The Holocaust Jews Were Possessed By Doris Zinkeisen

There have been many genocides throughout history and artifacts from those time periods can be shown to exhibit the many horrors that took place. Genocides are the process of mass murdering of an entire culture or civilization. One of the worst genocides in history being the holocaust, specifically targeted at Jews and many other small races. This mass murder caused 6 million deaths and as a result, many pieces of art and writings were made to help remember the stories of everyone. Due to genocides throughout history, many pieces of art and writings were made to preserve the memories and events that took place. These pieces helped show the world and people the actions that happen during a genocide.

Many genocide victims had homes in places

In many pieces of art, the difference between the survivors and perpetrators is visible and emphasized. A significant piece of art by Doris Clare Zinkeisen in 1945 called “Human Laundry : Belsen” with visuals of nurses taking care of mistreated people demonstrates the appearance of holocaust jews in the camps. The jews were not fed and mistreated in the camps based on the contrast of the perpetrators to the survivors. The art displays the difference in their well-being as the bones of the Jews are visible, while the perpetrators seem well fed and have easy lives. The jews are also extremely skinny when compared to the nurses, officers, and doctors at the camp. On top of that, in the center left of the image a jew is being taken away as they have passed away in the hospital. Zinkeisen used a darker shade of tan on the jews to show a darker feeling and emphasize their conditions in the concentration camp. In another piece of art by Norbert Troller in 1943 called “Terezin” it displays the jews being held between two large stone walls in cramped and restricted conditions. This piece of art was based on a ghetto that the creator has experienced in their lifetime. In the ghetto, the jews were kept in confined spaces where it seemed like they could move or breathe freely. Troller also uses pencils to sketch out the details of the jews’ expressions and their body details. Based on the sketches, you

Based on the art piece by Lurie called “Big Blocks” it displays the barracks and places that the jews were confined in while imprisoned. The image is watercolor with an overall yellow and brown tint. It also contains a tower in the center that is tall and can oversee all of the area. Even when a genocide is occuring, it might be hidden from plain sight which prevents it from people knowing about it. This arts’ tint on the image helps bring out the eerie feeling of death as everything that happens in genocides are similar. The watercolor of the image makes all the buildings and landscape look average without any horrid view. However, the tower in the center of the drawing seems to be a watch tower that might be implying the past of this place. Sometimes the genocides taking place could be so hidden to the point that not even the targeted race knows about it. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, states that “Spring 1944…’Hitler will not be able to harm us, even if he wants to’…’Annihilate an entire people?’ Wipe out a population dispersed throughout so many nations?’”(8).Elie and many jews were still doubting that Hitler would kill the entire Jewish race because it seemed impossible. However, this quote’s timestamp is in 1944 which is many years into the holocaust’s process. If the jews knew about the genocides that the Nazis had led, then they wouldn’t
