Brushstrokes in shades of black, white, and gray sketch out the intertwined forms of three musicians. This painting is part of Anna Walinska’s Survivors series that reflects on the Holocaust, the systematic persecution and genocide of millions, including six million Jewish people, by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945. Walinska stated, “I felt the burden and couldn’t turn away from it…I was devastated by what I saw and read…My work illustrates the theme ‘Lest we forget.’” This painting may reference the orchestras formed of imprisoned musicians who were forced to play in Nazi concentration camps. It also evokes the music composed and performed by prisoners that expressed their humanity in inhumane conditions.
