A series of numbers was tattooed on prisoners' forearms only at one
location - the Auschwitz concentration camp complex. Children,
parents, grandparents, mostly Jews but also a significant number of
non-Jews scarred for life. Indelibly etched with a number into
their flesh and souls, constantly reminding them of the horrors of
the Holocaust. References to the Auschwitz number appear in
artworks from the Holocaust period and onwards, by survivors and
non-survivor artists, and Jewish and non-Jewish artists. These
artists refer to the number from Auschwitz to portray the Holocaust
and its meaning. This book analyzes the place that the image of the
Auschwitz number occupies in the artist's consciousness and how it
is grasped in the collective perception of different societies. It
discusses how the Auschwitz number is used in public and private
Holocaust commemoration. Additionally, the book describes the use
of the Auschwitz number as a Holocaust icon to protest, warn, and
fight against Holocaust denial.
