  2. Your art history post for today: by Holocaust survivor Ceija Stojka (1933-2013), Untitled, 2000, oil on canvas , 60 x 50 cm, © Ceija Stojka, ADAGP, Paris.

    The artist: “What should I be afraid of? Auschwitz is my overcoat, Bergen-Belsen my dress, and Ravensbrück my undershirt.” As quoted in Brooklyn Rail, September 2023.

    The artist was Romani. Along with 6 million Jews, up to as many as 500,000 of the Romani people of Europe were executed during the Holocaust, along with other victims, such as people with disabilities, homosexuals, political prisoners, etc.

    cf Trump, Biden, Orban, Starmer, Johnson, Brexit, Putin, Morrison, Dutton, Luxon
