Marc Chagall's 1938 painting White Crucifixion dramatically calls attention to the persecution and suffering of European Jews in the 1930s and the suffering still to come.
By linking the martyred Jesus with the persecuted Jews and the Crucifixion with contemporary events, Chagall’s painting passionately identifies the Nazis with Christ’s tormentors and warns of the moral implications of their actions.
All the best, Gerard
