Children, parents, \u003cbr\u003egrandparents, mostly Jews but also a significant number of non-Jews \u003cbr\u003escarred for life. Indelibly etched with a number into their flesh and \u003cbr\u003esouls, constantly reminding them of the horrors of the Holocaust. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences\u003cbr\u003e to the Auschwitz number appear in artworks from the Holocaust period \u003cbr\u003eand onwards, by survivors and non-survivor artists, and Jewish and \u003cbr\u003enon-Jewish artists. These artists refer to the number from Auschwitz to \u003cbr\u003eportray the Holocaust and its meaning. This book analyzes the place that\u003cbr\u003e the image of the Auschwitz number occupies in the artist's \u003cbr\u003econsciousness and how it is grasped in the collective perception of \u003cbr\u003edifferent societies. It discusses how the Auschwitz number is used in \u003cbr\u003epublic and private Holocaust commemoration. Additionally, the book \u003cbr\u003edescribes the use of the Auschwitz number as a Holocaust icon to \u003cbr\u003eprotest, warn, and fight against Holocaust denial. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Batya Brutin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110739917\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110739916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.60w x 0.70d","brand":"Batya Brutin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045512147199,"sku":"9783110739916","price":126.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1304b82-9465-4f74-9935-d6920c64e121.jpg?v=1684979195","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/etched-in-flesh-and-soul-batya-brutin-9783110739916","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
