Eleven people

Kofta, Zuzanna (1994- )

The depiction of a group of eleven people, framed by an unevenly painted dark rectangle. The figures are in a room with a window covered by a curtain (the dark line of its square frame, vertically divided into halves, is fully visible). One child is in the lower left corner, a woman in a dark dress with a lighter skirt with dark vertical stripes is leaning over him. Along the bottom edge there is a man lying on his side covered with a light blanket with darker diagonal stripes. A child at a table (visible from the left), a man standing on the right, wearing a checked jumper, slightly bent over are also visible. To the left of the window, there is a small grey rectangle of a picture on the wall, probably depicting a mountain landscape.

This is an image of eleven Jews crammed into one room, who were hidden in the house of the Ciszewski family in Stanisławów. See the story of the Ciszewski family: https://sprawiedliwi.org.pl/en/stories-of-rescue/story-rescue-ciszewski-family
