Название1944 Auschwitz
ОписаниеClay sculpture created for the Sydney Jewish Museum by Susan Rozsa dedicated to her friend Hedy Binet who did not survive the war. It depicts two seated figures, one holding a bowl and spoon; another bowl and spoon are on the ground. The women have been marked by a large red cross on the back of their camp uniform, indicating that they are due to be "wiped out". They are shaven and have no faces. The sculpture immortalises their intolerable suffering and hopelessness. Inscribed on the base of the sculpture is '1944 Auschwitz' and 'A-20770 + 71' - the tattoo numbers of both the figures. There are five posts with wire connecting them along the top and bottom signifying the electrified fence. The figures are Susan (the donor) and her friend Hedy Binet.
With the two faceless seated figures, she has captured the essence of the inhuman treatment she and Hedy had to endure whilst in Auschwitz.
