This painting is about faith and its limits.
About the fact that faith and prayer, traditions that the Jews had been following for dozens of centuries, did not save them in the years of the World fire.
A synagogue is collapsing; a Menorah is ripped out of the sanctuary with its roots again.
Buy looking at this painting; we understand how right is the comparison of a Menorah with a tree – the Tree of Life from the Garden of Eden, the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil, a family tree.
Great sages look helpless, their faces and the faces of their pupils, the faces of their wives and children are already dead.
It seemed to many people 70 years ago, that the Jewish people and its culture already did not exist and never would…
The gates of Hell open in the place, which should be the apex of holiness – in the Ark, where Torah scrolls are kept.
Moses’ tables – a symbol of morals and world civilization – are about to collapse, because all the bases of good and justice were disregarded. The Nazi are piercing the bodies of old men, women and children with daggers with swastika, which have the words “God is with us!” inscribed in a Gothic script.
So where is God, which side is He on?
Such a complicated question, and maybe even unsolvable for someone, the artist sets before those who are looking at his picture.
Without providing a straight answer, Alex finds a place on his canvas for a small modern girl in a white and blue dress. Her dark curly hair cascade freely down her shoulders. She came from our present world where there is a state with the same-colored flag as this girl’s dress.
She is looking at people who died long ago, and we understand that this is a “painting within a painting”.
The presence of this child on the canvas testifies that our enemies will never be able to defeat our people.
They will not be able to do it, because not only we survived, but also we remember what happened and tell our children about it.
Even if it is hard for them to look at it.
However, they need to know about the Holocaust so that it will not happen again!
