Sala Kryszek Art & Writing Competition

Important Dates   Entry Deadline: Monday, April 12th, 2019  Awards Ceremony: Sunday, May 19th, 2019, Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education

2019 Prompt  To thoughtfully respond to the prompt, carefully consider the following: “Before she knew it, she was separated from her mother and carried along onto the train car. … Lisa moved quickly to a seat by the window. … Trembling, she searched for her mother’s dark hair and black coat. … She yelled through the glass, ‘Mama!’ but her voice was lost in a chorus of similar cries. … Finally there was a low clank releasing the brakes, and the train began to move. For a moment she thought she could make out her family, pushed behind the barricade, waving faithfully. Then everything disappeared into the steam and smoke.” - The Children of Willesden Lane On the evening of November 9th and into the morning of November 10th, 1938, Nazi authorities staged violent anti-Jewish attacks across Germany and Austria. More than 1,400 synagogues, Jewish owned shops, and Jewish homes were destroyed. Following this event, called Kristallnacht, the British government offered housing to unaccompanied children under the age of 17. Jewish parents and guardians, seeking safety for their children, sent them alone to England by train and boat. These trips became known as the Kindertransport, the children’s transport. Within a year and a half, approximately 10,000 children participated with the expectation of being reunited with their parents. By the end of the Holocaust, six million Jews had been murdered, claiming the lives of many parents of Kindertransport children. Many children never saw their family members again. The Prompt Consider the experience of the Kindertransport when reflecting on Holocaust history and create a piece of writing or a work of visual art that examines the experience of being separated from family and loved ones. We recommend The Children of Willesden Lane as a resource to guide you on this subject.
