Painting to express the message and historical event via the Holocaust of a magnificent book, The Boy in Striped Pajamas. This image shows the confliction the Nazi Party and Jews during the unfortunate and horrifying event, the Holocaust. Expressing superiority and inferiority. The outstanding character, Bruno, has a blindfold to represent his obliviousness to these aspects and the Holocaust. There are many symbols and significance for this piece but I'm afraid I'm lazy to type them all up.
I have no further comment to comment this piece although that I rushed it.

That was a sad time...
There are some people who believe that Hitler thought he was doing something good for the world, and his country. They also believe that about many other real life villains over the years. It makes sense - Hitler was trying to create the perfect humans:
Blonde hair, blue eyes, Christian.
(You know, the appearance thing didn't really make sense to me - he had dark hair and brown eyes. o.O")
(P.S: I do not agree with him. Don't get me wrong. I'm not in any way against the Jews. That's just what he was going for.
One of my friends is a jew. One of my best friends, in fact. I don't see why people discriminate them, so don't go and think that I agree with Hitler. =___=")

No need to be self-conscious about that. The history of humanity is quite a mystery to me still.

Thanks. ^_^ And I think it is to a lot of people... Heck, we don't even know where us humans came from, let alone how the criminal mind works.

I do not remember.. I believe I merged the Germany and Poland flags with the corresponding symbols of the reich and the star of David which belonged to the people who lived in each of those country respectively. According to the time period and setting of the novel I created, thus, a juxtaposition between two opposing side and perspectives between the German and Jewish people during the Holocaust.

Just a small error you used the flag of the federal republic of Germany rather then flag of the third reich. I just thought it might be a good idea to note the error that way those know little about the country nowadays don't get the wrong idea but I digress. It is a good drawing though.

Thanks so much for pointing that out. I'll do some more research on that so I won't make the same mistake. : ) And I'm glad you like the drawing. I think?!
