But 1700 years of Christian anti-Judaism preceded antisemitism. The Holocaust was the nearly successful final solution to Christendom’s Jewish Problem. Most Jews today limit blame to the person of Hitler. We believe our country exceptional, free of lethal antisemitism. Thus convinced we raise, no subject our children to the Precedent. This is Denial.David Turnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04951006480984188591noreply@blogger.comBlogger11100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1159916961885556008.post-9531602011277352042008-03-17T07:08:00.000-07:002008-03-17T08:06:26.806-07:00Five artists presently represent "Ghetto Artists." That Moshe <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Rynecki</span> is represented by more works than the other four represents nothing more than the fact that I feel that this <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">project</span> is important and deserves to be on-line as quickly as I can locate materials. I am certain other ghetto artists are yet to be discovered by me and will appear in the future.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RwjHJM_QQRA/R96C83dwiZI/AAAAAAAAAjY/Z1G6qUxey0A/s1600-h/smokerbig.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178720603715176850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_RwjHJM_QQRA/R96C83dwiZI/AAAAAAAAAjY/Z1G6qUxey0A/s200/smokerbig.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a></p><p align="center">Moshe <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Rynecki</span> was born in 1881 in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Miedzyrecze</span>, a small town East of Warsaw. Early in the Second World War <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Rynecki</span> was forced into the Warsaw Ghetto. Although he had little access to painting materials in the Ghetto, he did continue to paint. Only three paintings from this period of his life survived the Holocaust: "In the Shelter," "Forced Labor," and "Refugees." In early 1943 Moshe was deported to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Majdanek</span>.
