In Memory of all the victims of The Holocaust

This track is a part of the upcoming Legacy of Thought Label compilation release "Dead Painters Society Collection" with several of the artists collaborating withing the label LoT . It will be released on 09-03-2017.

The painting:
"Blind Man in Belsen"
(1947 after photos and scetches from when the British troops liberated the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp on 15 April 1945)

About the painter:
Alan Moore 1914-2015, Australia.
While he was not a person who trained to be painter his entire life he always had the natural talent and the desire to be a painter was always his desire, specifically to be a war artist. He enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and was initially given the task to draw diagrams of certain planes. During his time in the Air Force he was appointed as an official war artist working in New Guinea, the Middle East and Europe. He was asked to depict what was happening in certain areas where the RAAF was stationed. This art piece was created in Melbourne, Australia in 1947. The “Blind Man in Belsen” was created from his experiences and memories during the Second World War and specifically depicted harrowing scenes at Belsen concentration camp in Germany after it was freed from German control. This painting is an example of the horrors he saw of men dying or experiencing major injuries. The painting is done in a fashion that allows a person to imagine the tragedies and horrors of this place and the war in general in a dark and quiet manner. It is a great painting which captures the so-called ugly side of war that may have had the most lasting memory on the history of the war, which is the human tragedy.
