Das Werk von Hieronymus Bosch (um 1450–1516) hat bis heute nichts an Faszination eingebüßt. Monster, Teufel und surreale Wesen bevölkern die Welt seiner Bilder und erregen seit Jahrhunderten die Fantasie der Betrachter. Dieser umfangreiche Band zeigt alle berühmten Gemälde sowie das vollständige Werk der Zeichnungen – erläutert von namhaften Bosch-Experten.
A total of 15,000 children under the age of fifteen passed through the Terezin
Concentration Camp between the years 1942-1944; less than 100 survived. In
these poems and pictures drawn by the young inmates of Terezin, we see the
daily misery of these uprooted children, as well as their courage and
optimism, their hopes and fears. The ghetto of Terezin (Theresienstadt),
located in the hills outside Prague, was an unusual concentration camp in that
it was created to cover up the Nazi genocide of the Jews. Billed as the
Fuhrer's gift to the Jews, this model ghetto was the site of a Red Cross
inspection visit in 1944. With its high proportion of artists and
intellectuals, culture flourished in the ghetto - alongside starvation,
disease, and constant dread of transports to the death camps of the east.
Every one of its inhabitants was condemned in advance to die. These innocent
and honest depictions allow us to see through the eyes of the children what
life was like in the ghetto. The children's poems and drawings, revealing
maturity beyond their years, are haunting reminders of what no child should
ever have to see. This expanded edition of I Never Saw Another Butterfly is
published in cooperation with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in
Washington, D.C.
