2006 / Oil on canvas / 90×120

In the foreground of the painting is Hillel Kook, who was sent from the Jewish settlement in Palestine during World War II to the US, to alert America to the Holocaust of the Jews in Europe.
In 1943, he led a march of 400 rabbis to the White House, calling for immediate rescue action. This broke the apathy and the United States finally entered the war against Nazism.

In the background of the painting are heroic personalities who saved thousands of Jews in Budapest during World War II – Raoul Wallenberg, Karl Lutz and Recha Sternbuch.
Under the pro-Nazi Szálasi regime, the remnants of Hungarian Jewry tried to survive Eichmann’s execution of his plan for a “final solution” in Hungary.
Swedish Consul Raoul Wallenberg and Swiss Consul Carl Lutz saved a large part of Budapest’s Jewry, despite great personal danger.
Mrs. Recha Sternbuch smuggled Jews across the Austrian-Swiss border and at the end of 1944 took part in a ransom deal with Himmler to save lives of concentration camp prisoners.
