Artwork Description:
This drawing illustrates a holocaust story that really happened. Although I seldom make holocaust related art and usually don't feel like doing it at all, this story touched my heart, and I made this drawing spontaneously. Later other versions followed.
The boy is the little brother of the woman I knew in he Netherlands who told me the story while one night we were standing at the station in this picture. Before the war the boy often went to the railway station Hollands Spoor in The Hague with his small bycicle to wait for moshiach. When his sister teased him about that ('Why would moshich come there and not somewhere else, why not by boat etc.') he didin't listen, he kept going back. Later the Nazis put him in a train at that same railway station, and sent him to the camps in the East. He never came back. His sister was hidden and survived the war.
