Description
Considers the paintings of Berlin-born Charlotte Salomon (1917-1943) as witnesses to the Holocaust, comparing them with Anne Frank'a diary and characterising them as "autobiographical drama." Executed in the South of France, they constitute a lasting testimony to the spirit of the artist, deported to Auschwitz and murdered at 24.
