Freestanding diptych iconic panels; mixed media collage on 4 sides with archival photos stored in a fitted presentation box.

This artifact is created around the photo of German soldiers surrendering to an African-American GI at the end of WWII. It makes a mockery of Hitler’s sacred national image of the invincible, white male, Aryan warrior.

In official Nazi ideology, Jews and Roma, aka gypsies, were “vermin” to be exterminated; Slavs were a “slave race” to be used for manual labor; and Negroes were considered “animals” of no consequence.
