Context: “This watercolor was created by
Josef Sapcaru, a Belgian Jew and a prisoner of Auschwitz Ill-Monowitz. The
painting was a birthday present for Elzbleta Stawowy, a civilian worker who
received it in 1944 from Josef Sapcaru, and two fellow prisoners, Alfred Erlich
and Max Lezansky. In secret, she used to help them by providing food.”
Beauty
emerged from
The
ashes of suffering
Pain
seen through their eyes.
Nicely written haiku, Tess and Jackie. And the prisoners must have been starved for beauty.
