To commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah), we would like to share this documentary film with you, produced by Palette Grey and featuring the profound and moving work of artist Rebecca Odessa.
In 2014, having returned from her second visit to Auschwitz, Ms. Odessa began work on a painting that would depict the level of calculation that went into the creation and running of Auschwitz Birkenau.
The painting would take her five years and thousands of hours to complete. Inspired by her experience, research and the writings of Primo Levi, the resultant work entitled “The Grey Zone”, is breath-taking in its intricacy, detail, accuracy, intensity and communicative potential.
Today, we pause to remember the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust and the brave actions of the Jewish resistance who stood united against the N**i system of mass extermination.
The painting featured in the documentary reminds us of the atrocities humanity is capable of, the calculated precision of the factory of genocide that was Auschwitz Birkenau and how collectively we must never allow this to happen again.
