Fourteen-year-old Henri Kichka created this painting of Disney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” just months before his entire family perished in the Holocaust.Juxtaposed against the backdrop of rising antisemitism and the German occupation of Belgium, Kichka painted the playful work of art on March 8, 1941, "finding comfort amidst the magic of fairytales," according to Yad Vashem.
Sarika "Sarah" Kalderon was one of those victims. Born in 1923 in Belgrade, Kalderon kept a diary from 1936-1940 and filled it with doodles of Mickey Mouse skiing down a snow slope, and an angry Donald Duck appearing to yell at someone off of the page. Donated by her cousin to the Israeli Holocaust museum, the diary includes drawings, blessings, dedications, and poems, written by friends and family in Serbian, Croatian, French, and Hebrew, according to Yad Vashem.
