During the Holocaust there was an incredible photographer Wilhelm Brasse: A Polish prisoner and trained photographer who was forced by the SS to take about 40,000 to 50,000 identity photos of prisoners from 1940 until 1945. He hid the images from the Nazis to show proof of the prisoners and atrocities. This man is a likeness of my grandfather.
This artwork is a poignant portrait that illustrates the profile of an elderly man with a bald head. His face shows signs of age and hardship, with detailed creases and a somber expression. The background is painted in muted tones, focusing attention on the subject. There is a wooden plank in the foreground with an engraved identification number and text referencing Auschwitz, along with the phrase "Lessons Not Learned." The artwork is deeply emotive and evocative, emphasizing themes of memory and history.
