Child of the Ghetto

  • Size: 22 x 30 inches or 56 x 76 cm

Description

This is developed from looking at photographs taken by the Germans of the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto.

This, and the two other images, entitled Child of the Ghetto were intended to show how inhuman the Jews were.

I wanted to express the horror of the adult holding the child. Is the adult about to consume the child?
