The first Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon – a son of Jewish parents from Eastern Europe, who had lived through Auschwitz – perished during a spaceship crash not far from the Earth.
He took with him in his first and, as it turned out, his last, space trip, a drawing by a boy from Terzin ghetto (Teresienstadt).
There was a space rocket in that picture.
The space scale of the Auschwitz tragedy asks for a space response.
It cannot be the other way, the author of the painting is telling us.
A camp robe is flying up and large doll that has come alive appears before us in a wedding dress.
A wedding is a symbol of life and procreation, but the painting is imbued with black colors of death and destruction.
Phantasmagoria of ashes, space and eternity overlaps just like in real life.
But the message of the painting is life, not death.
Life, in which we should not forget still recent, according to the space scale, tragedy.
The ladder, into which the fingerboard of a musical instrument turns in the artist’s canvas, is, by all means, Jacob’s Ladder.
He saw the angels of hostile people who are ascending and descending this ladder, but the last angel – the angel of Esau, the ancestor of the people of Europe, stayed on the top.
Jacob-Israel was frightened and did not ascend this ladder.
“Do not fear, Jacob!” – the Lord said, and these words are addressed to us, to the Jews of the present age.
We must not fear anything.
This is our ladder to Heaven.
