Tonight at dusk begins Yom Hashoah, the Jewish memorial day for the Holocaust. In remembrance, your art history post for today is by Malva Schaleck (1882-1944), who was murdered in Auschwitz: Self-Portrait, 1944, pencil and oil pastel on cardboard, 30 X 44 cm, Ghetto Fighters House Museum, Lohamei HaGeta’ot, Israel. #arthistory #holocaust #YomHaShoah

“In 1942 Schaleck was transported to the Terezin ghetto. This was a period of physical difficulty and emotional distress. Despite her failing health, she created many works in secret, depicting scenes of ghetto life. Her works were done in pencil, charcoal and watercolours, and were hidden in the walls of the buildings. Discovered after liberation, they are a faithful testimony of various aspects of the living conditions in the Terezin ghetto-camp.

After refusing to draw a doctor who was a collaborator, Malva Schaleck was sent to Auschwitz on 18 May 1944. She died there.” ~ holocaust-art.ort.org/artists/

“Her final work, presumably created during her last months in Theresienstadt, is a poignant self-portrait. In the image below, we witness the artist with a bowed head, gazing downward. Her hair is pulled back, revealing a visage that appears aged and almost cadaverous. The touch of red on her lips accentuates a final semblance of life.” Daily Art Magazine: dailyartmagazine.com/malva-sch

Ich durfte Walter Frankenstein vor acht Jahren in Stockholm drei Tage lang interviewen, da war er 92. Obwohl fast blind, holte er mich vom Bahnhof ab und briet mir erstmal ein Spiegelei. Wir tranken Wein bis tief in die Nacht und er erzählte mir seine unglaubliche Lebensgeschichte. Danach war mir klar: Wenn schon alt werden, dann bitte so wie Walter - voller Lebensmut und Lebenslust und mit viel Humor.

Walter Frankenstein ist tot. Er starb mit 100 Jahren in Stockholm. Frankenstein überlebte die Nazizeit gemeinsam mit Frau und zwei Kleinkindern im Untergrund in Berlin und Leipzig, später bereitete er in Bayern #shoah -Überlebende für die Auswanderung nach Palästina vor und kämpfte im israelischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg. Es gibt wenige Menschen, die mich so beeindruckt haben. Sein Biograf Klaus Hillenbrand mit einem Nachruf auf @tazgetroete :

#GazaGenocide / That Herzog?

#Ynet is reporting that Israeli President Herzog’s and his wife will lead the 37th annual "March of the Living," which will take place between #Auschwitz and #Birkenau this Thursday.

Israel's Herzog participation in the Holocaust memorial is clearly deeply hypocritical given his actions and statements. His rhetoric attributing collective blame for #Hamas’s actions to all Palestinians—a statement cited by the International Court of Justice—stands in contrast to the solemnity of commemorating the systematic extermination of Jews during the #Holocaust.

[...] What statesmanship is there in the signing of a lethal munition which, in the eyes of the world, represents Israel’s greatest sin in this war – sowing devastation in Gaza and killing innocents. --- Netta Ahituv wrote Haaretz.

The widely publicized image of Herzog signing a bomb shell intended for use in Gaza, an act condemned as indicative of genocidal intent, underscores a disturbing disconnect between remembering past atrocities while contributing to the suffering of civilians in #Gaza, where over 50,000 people, predominantly women and children, have been murdered so far by the #IDF.

@gedvondur : if the current maintainers of the former Auschwitz concentration camp would *really* care about Holocaust victims, they'd make sure that you could find such details in their own online database (victims.auschwitz.org/victims/) before broadcasting -without their consent- people's images, grabbed elsewhere, all over the internet.

They don't. Instead of updating their database, they are busy distributing their message found at the bottom of auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschw.

See infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat for more information.

Screenshot from https://victims.auschwitz.org/victims?pattern=Milada+Fischlov%C3%A1 Searched for: Milada Fischlová Result: Unfortunately, in the digital collection of names of victims of the Nazi German Concentration and Extermination Camp Auschwitz information about the person you were looking for was not found. The base material of lists of names are partially preserved files created by the SS camp administration. Most of the files created by the Germans were destroyed by them, therefore, unfortunately a complete list of KL Auschwitz does not exist. There is also a possibility that the preserved documents may have inaccuracies and errors. The information about the person you were looking for might be found with the help of archivists from the Analyses and Archival Information Office.

@masek, but let’s dig deeper.

We ask this question, and get this answer, b/c it’s really about what people would or could have *done*.

Yet that’s an entirely different matter—when people even fear standing up against a single bully, what do we expect them to do against a group of bullies, a city of bullies, half a country of bullies?

The question what people knew is cynical if we don’t *teach* what people can do to stop criminals. And no one taught and teaches that.
