“I think I resisted because I had a happy childhood,” said the “Girl from Salonika” in Alison Jayne Wilson’s film of the same name. The film takes us back to the time before the German invasion and the deportation of 90% of Greek Jews. The girl later suffers in Block 10 of Auschwitz at the hands of the Nazi Dr. Horst Schumann.
This day reminds us of November 9th. The Kristallnacht pogroms, also known as the November pogroms, took place 85 years ago. You know. In Thessaloniki we found this street art image of a girl who could be the girl from the movie - young, kind and tired of all the things that we, humanity, just can't stop doing
You from Selanik? Where is this image? Is it close to the port where Jews were deported?
No, I'm not. It was just a trip
Beautiful work. and even more so when I read your explanation. I didn't know this film at all. Thanks for sharing this pic on The StreetArt Community.
Have a great Friday
Quite good painting art with story. Thank you.
