Survivor, Researcher

Simon Wiesenthal, the Nazi war criminal hunter.   In an interview someone asked him if he considered himself an Historian (after having written a number of books)... He said no, he's more of a Researcher.  In a speech he asked that people not consider him a Hero.... Rather, he said, every day of his life after WWII he has considered himself just a Survivor who could not let the victims down.  He had to search for justice for the victims.  12 x 12 inches, oil on canvas panel.

"A Tortured Soul #1" - Van Gogh

Kathe Kollwitz in oil pastels

Kathe Kollwitz (July 8, 1867 – April 22, 1945) was a German painter, printmaker, and sculptor whose work offered an eloquent and often searing account of the human condition, and the tragedy of war, in the first half of the 20th century. Her empathy for the less fortunate, expressed most famously through the graphic means of drawing, etching, lithography, and woodcut, embraced the victims of poverty, hunger, and war. (Wikipedia)
