60 Years Later, Still So Much Hateby
levyj413Comment: o, jeffrey, such a hard image.
i'll do the technicals first, as that's the easy part. i agree with the comments about the background being a bit too bright and strong. it's a bit distracting. and, the edges of the start seem a bit too crisp - i realise it's a result of the light, but i think it ends up looking a bit cut and paste. the figure is spot on - it could be anyone.
the content is, well, stunning. so hard to say anything and sound sincere and empathetic. i think... um.
it's so sad that it seems many have no idea what this is. everyone should know.
i will never forget going to the anne frank house in amsterdam (i was 21 at the time). crossing over from the annex to the neighbouring house, there was a display of about 20 information boards. there was a reproduction of the deportation order that included the franks. their names had been touched so many times that the lamination had worn away. two boards lateer, there was an image of hitler. his face had been completely scratched off.
many years later i visited the memorial in paris. wlaking around, translating for my ex-husband, i found it difficult to speak, and hard to understand why he didn't understand this.
burn the star. if you need another one, you can always make one. it's only a piece of cloth. saving it just gives it more power.
