Holocaust Series, Book Six

Title

Holocaust Series, Book Six

Description

The metal outer case of this volume has a plate repeating Anne Frank's 'In Spite of Everything.” This book links an actual person's life to the events in the camp. There are quotes by other people relating the Holocaust to a broader political context: one by Vivianna Hererra, 1983, a Chilean political prisoner, one by Alicia Partnoy, an Argentinian, one by a Kurdish poet.
The art motifs are repetitive of children's drawings with emphasis on collages, their primary mode of expression. There is a photographic reproduction done by Margaret Bourke- White of liberated prisoners from Buchenwald. At the end of the book the artist acknowledges his sources, with the inclusion of a brief time-line.

This volume was completed December 1993/January 1994.
