Shoah (Forest) by Wilhelm Sasnal, 2003:
propaganda: from the fb page Sztuka do kawy: “Gdy po raz pierwszy zobaczyłam ten obraz, nawet nie znając jego historii czy tytułu czułam, że z odmętem w tle jest „coś nie tak”. Zapierający dech w piersiach las nie jest ani przypadkowy, ani neutralny – scena rozgrywa się bowiem w okolicach Treblinki. Chaotyczna, głęboko zielona otchłań jest zatem miejscem pogromu, tytułowej Zagłady. Znana jest również tożsamość przedstawionych postaci. Mężczyzna w środku to Claude Lanzmann – reżyser 9-godzinnego filmu dokumentalnego o Zagładzie („Shoah”, 1985), nad którym pracował kilkanaście lat. Postać w białej spódnicy to tłumaczka, która przekłada rozmowę reżysera z idącym po jego prawej stronie mężczyzną. Ten ostatni zaś jest świadkiem zbrodni – właśnie opisuje Lanzmannowi swoje traumatyczne doświadczenia z czasów wojny.”
[When I first saw this painting, even not knowing its history or the title I felt there is something "wrong" about the turmoil in the background. The breathtaking forest is neither accidental nor neutral - the scene is set near Treblinka [one of the nazi extermination camps]. The chaotic, deep green abyss is the site of a genocide, the Shoah. We know the identity of the figures in the painting. The man in the middle is Claude Lanzmann, who directed a 9 hours long documentary about the Shoah ("Shoah", 1985), which took him over a decade. The figure in a white skirt is an interpreter who translates the director's conversation with the man on his right. The latter is an eyewitness of the massacre - he is describing to Lanzmann his traumatic experiences from the war period.]
