Modern Jewish Art
  Vadim Sidur, Concentration camp (1966)

© Center for Jewish Art, Photographer: Tartakovsky, Sergey, 11.1992
The monument is comprised of three similar groups put in one row. Each of these groups includes two man's figures. The men stand against each other with their shaved heads bent to the left shoulder of the opposite figure. They hold themselves upright. Their long hands are stretched along the body and tightly pressed to it. Their disproportionately large fists seem to be clenched. All forms of the sculpture are utmost simple, rather geometrical than natural. Each figure is made of a simple metal bar, rectangular in its cross-section. Bent below at right angle this bar represents feet. The soldered feet of two figures form the entire podium for each group. The front and the back surfaces of the bar are flat. Horizontal strips on the lateral sides show protruding ribs of the men, while long vertical ones represent hands. A neck together with the head form a single whole. It looks like an oblong head or like a long neck rounded at the end.
