Portraits of 7 recent victims of American gun-rights terrorism. Various Republican candidates and elected legislators obscenely claim Democrats are like the Third Reich and Nazis. On Aug. 22, 2022 Congressman Mike Garcia of California mocked millions of Holocaust victims, and American service personnel who fought against Nazi tyranny, with his claim that Democrats and the Biden administration are like the Third Reich. Rep. Garcia also stated the US Capitol Police are like the Gestapo. The Gestapo was the Reich's Secret Police. In American business, on Oct. 17, 2022 Facebook removed a Holocaust history photo I had posted, stating it violated Community Standards. The Facebook company has accepted over $10,000,000.00 in NRA blood, death, terrorism and slaughter money. We bury our children and weep.

Art: Art begun Oct. 31, 2022; finished Dec. 6
Media: Pencil, watercolor, ink, colored pencil. Old wrapping paper is collaged on, surrounding a portrait.
Framed: 37.5 in. H x 27.5 W  [90.17 cm. H x 69.85 W]

The drawing in the top center of the artwork was drawn from 2 separate Holocaust history photos: One photo of a  Nazi soldier executing Jews, Chelm, Poland, 28 May 1942. The other photo taken in the Warsaw Ghetto, May 1943, of a Jewish woman about to be executed. I drew this in response to Facebook's removal of a 1942 photo I had posted, with text about Calif. Congressman Mike Garcia, who mocks the Holocaust. Facebook removed the 1942 photo (of Nazi soldiers with rifles pointed at fully clothed, kneeling partisans about to be executed, Ukraine) claiming it violated their "Community Standards."
