Irena Sendler (1910-2008) was a Polish nurse and social worker, responsible for saving more than 2,500 children from the Warsaw ghetto during World War II. She was rewarded with Poland’s highest honour, the Order of the White Eagle, and was recognized as Righteous Among the Nations by the State of Israel for her humanitarian efforts.

While she was working for the Social Welfare department in Warsaw, she helped create thousands of false documents to help Jewish families. During her medical visits to the ghetto, she would smuggle babies and infants to save them. She was eventually discovered and captured by the Gestapo, and was imprisoned and beaten, narrowly escaping execution.

If Shakespeare was alive in 2017:

Someone: POLITICS and ART should always be SEPARATE! There is NO REASON why ART should be POLITICAL!

William Shakespeare: *laughs. writes 3 more tiny hand jokes into his latest play, King Tiny Hands.*

ummmm???? do people forget that hitler’s rise to power didn’t START with the holocaust??? like it wasn’t like day one he became chancellor and said “okay from now on, all jews are going to be put into camps”. it started so much more subtle than that. he started with quietly and subtly removing jewish people from civil services, from government positions, then from the entertainment industry, then from being on radio, then from medicine and sciences, then from not letting them go to university, THEN the nuremberg laws that officially classified jewish people as outcasts. THEN Kristallnacht. THEN ghettos. and then THEN the rounding up into camps. this all happened over a span of YEARS.

dictatorship doesn’t arrive with a slimy red bow, dripping with venom. it comes promising to make your country better by putting the blame conveniently on the backs of people that are easy targets and slowly raises the temperature on them until it reaches a boiling point. make no mistake. these ARE the signs of fascism. don’t pretend that there’s an overreaction when there really REALLY isn’t.

Wannseekonferenz. The day the “final solution” was set into motion. 20th January 1942. Three years into WWII. Nine years after Hitler seized power.

Louis is a pigeon who was born with tiny human feet. While strange, this means he gets to wear tiny human shoes. He loves it. 

Yup. This is what I spend my life doing because I love pigeons and I love shoes and lol pigeon boots. 

These will be available as little 6x4 prints very soon.
