Portrait pillars of the Monument Foundation (Stiftung Denkmal) participation in the Berlin 2013 theme year ‘Destroyed Diversity’ (Zerstörte Vielfalt) at the Berlin Holocaust Memorial, 7 Sep 2013, Berlin, Germany.
Here the portrait of Werner (1921-1942). Werner from Wedding (Berlin) was in love with his neighbor Dorothea. But he was Jewish. After the passage of the Nuremberg “Racial Laws” in the fall of 1935, relationships between Jews and “Aryans” were strictly forbidden. The two were cautious, but they were betrayed. The accusation: “racial defilement” (Rassenschande)! Werner spent 18 months in the Berlin-Tegel prison, then in “protective custody” in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. He did not survive the camp (https://www.stiftung-denkmal.de/) .
