Kellman Kristen FY23 7th Grade Holocaust Drawing of Arms and Hands and Essay
For my piece, I decided to signify holocaust victims being recognized by not their names, but by their numbers. Jews were given these tattoos so Nazi soldiers could identify who was who, but now these tattoos are used to symbolize the brutality of the concentration camps. The words “We Are One” and arms linking are used to signify unity and how the Jews were all connected, the arms linking on to each other reminded me of the chains that were put on the Jews, and how the Jews did not have any freedom under Hitler and felt imprisoned by him.

This piece shows a survivor of a Holocaust concentration camp pulling back their sleeve to show the faded tattoo still imprinted onto their forearm. The black-and-white theme describes the sad, miserable times people had to endure. I created this piece to express and teach others how horrible the times were and to show how the tattoo left on people's arms will always remind them of the times they had gone through.
