During the era of the Holocaust,the Nazi murdered approximately six million Jews. The artist was one of the survivors. When she was three years old, she was separated with her parents. Her parents was killed by Nazi. After WWII, she came to American. This picture is how she remembered her childhood. I don't know how she survived during the Holocaust.
When I looked at this picture, I can feel these people were helpless and scared. In the picture, one big hand controls these people made them uncomfortable and lack of freedom. They didn't know what happened, their eyes were wide open. Someone closed his eyes as if he just gives up struggling. They must be hungry for a long time because they seem to be very skinny. They are lacking of power and energy. They are alone, sad and painful.
