Marc Chagall: White Crucifixion (1938)Apologies to those who may be offended by the crucifix. It offends me, too, but I'm more offended by those who are not offended. This masterwork, painted originally to answer Hitler, remains for me a supreme representation of the Jewish suffering perpetrated by Christians, on a Christian continent, and a stirring yizkor prayer for those who were lost. May their memory be a blessing.
