Generally-speaking we only sense Elsner’s Holocaust trauma indirectly in certain works that seem to have greater meaning than that is allocated to them by the title. This image appears both a man with hands outstretched to the heavens ready to receive enlightenment as it does a Holocaust captee begging for mercy -much like a Kathe Kollwitz woodcut of such a subject.
