2D Art-High School, Mother
2D ART-HIGH SCHOOL, MOTHER(S) by Bella Burrell, Springdale Jr. Sr. High School. Mother(s) is a depiction of Rosa Kugelman’s point of view as her daughter, Stella, was separated from her upon arriving in Ravensbruck. Tear blurred colors, only seconds to remember your four year old’s face forever. Although Rosa ultimately does not survive the concentration camp this would not be the last time she and her daughter would meet. Through the help of other women in the camp Stella and Rosa would reunite once more. Not only did these women ensure Stella wouldn’t forget her mother, but protected her in Rosa’s absence. Stella survived Ravensbruck, having only her camp mothers and her own resilience to blame.

When I was 11 years old, I saw a play put on by a high school in Chicago. It was about the children at the Terezin Camp in the Czech Republic. The play detailed the horrific things done during the holocaust, yet showed how the children were joyful and full of hope and love. I took home with me a book filled with poems from the children in Terezin: “I Never Saw Another Butterfly.” The book is full of drawings and writings from children, many who were younger than me and who were persecuted just for being alive.
