Your grandad and mom must have been very strong people. What an interesting story. This painting is certainly a historic link to your family's past and should be preserved. When I first saw it, I did wonder where the tracks were leading. TKS this wonderful work. Their story brought tears to my eyes.
What an incredible story! That's great that you are able to have this painting that has such an insight into something that was so significant in history and not to mention that it was painted by your FIL.
Yea I learned that more than the jewish people..germans, Italians, Irish were also tortured..how digusting!! Makes my stomach turn!! But, soo incredibly happy for you to have this to look and. I was staring at this for a while before writing..and just imagined all the people that went with this. The tears, crying, suffering...how fabulous this painting is....HOW LUCK YOU ARE!! I am adopted and my parents ahole son stole my furniture/dressers that my gparents gave me with ALL GP's train/masons etc and personables an GM's quilts and all the pictures....GONE...so this is exciting to see someone elses family treasures!!! Almost brings a tear to my eyes honey!!! Sooo excited for you....enjoy this!!!
MY FIL passed away this spring shy of 100 YO. We have learned a great deal from his papers, books he typed, but so much we still have to learn. We learned he was a Professor at Warsau University in 1935, thankfully he left before the Nazi's arrived there. We learned he was a prisoner of war as was his wife. He painted this picture while in his 90's, I've looked at it for years and did not notice until I read his books that this isn't a farm scene, he was telling a part of history without having to speak of it. They are footprints! Footprints of the March he was forced on. There is so much more to learn about this amazing man. This links to my mini album info about seaching for a peaceful life. The Polish suffered too and this information needs to be archived.
