"Yizkor" – Poster Illustrated by Pinchas Schuldenrein – Zeilsheim, ca. 1946
"Yizkor 1939-1945". Poster Illustrated by Pinchas Schuldenrein (signed in the plate). Zeilsheim (Germany): P. Schuldenrein, [ca. 1946]. Hebrew.
Impressive color illustration, showing the number 6,000,000 and two memorial candles soaking in blood, with images of the atrocities of the holocaust. The caption beneath the illustration reads: "When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them" (Psalms 9:13).
The artist Pinchas Shuldenrein was born in Poland and studied in the Warsaw Art Academy. After the Holocaust, he opened a studio outside the Zeilsheim DP Camp with the assistance of the Joint, and there he created this poster. Shuldenrein taught art to children in DP camps and created works inspired by the Holocaust. In 1947 he moved to the USA, settled in New York and a couple of years later changed his name to Paul Sharon. He worked as a graphic designer in New York until his death in 1998.
37.5X51.5 cm. Fair condition. Fold lines, creases and stains. Tears to edges, slightly affecting illustration. Abrasions and minor blemishes to illustration. Traces of mounting to verso.
