Yehuda bacon biography of mahatma

It was then that I looked in the mirror for the first time in three years and I was horrified by my own face. But slowly I got used it, I recovered and went to Prague. At that time I hoped that my sister and mother were alive. But I later found out they had died in Stutthof camp in Poland two weeks before the end of the war. They had survived typhus but were given no food, so they died of hunger.

Trying to tell our story After the war, I dedicated my life to being an artist - at first to describe what I saw, in a childish way. Later I realised people were not interested in these stories - neither in Europe, nor in Israel. I guess our stories were too strong, too unbelievable, too hard to understand or they just couldn't bear it. They would go quiet when I started to tell them something.

I thought I would tell them and people would learn and behave better. I think I am somehow obliged because I survived to tell the story of the people who didn't survive but what happens to the story is beyond my control. I hope that maybe someone, some time, somewhere will learn something from it. My drawings were used in trials and books about the Holocaust.

I thought I had to draw, I had to say what I experienced in the hope that someone would learn from it. In Israel they have one day of commemoration of the Holocaust every year where they have films and lectures and so on - a little too much, in my opinion. But that is mainly for the other people who didn't experience it. For us, the ones who survived, we live with it every day.

We don't have to have a special day. Sign up.
