Acrylic on canvas
We see Jewish prisoners in Nazi death camps along with chessboards, which represent life. The artist expresses his POV and says that in WWW Jews were pieces on an un-understandable chessboard.
Artist and curator Dick Ben Dor wrote about him (in Hebrew- translation is mine):

Benjamin Peleg deals in most of his paintings in the holocaust and he emphasizes, by using numbers, the endless list of victims; at the same time his usage of colors adds strength to the work.

Art critique Dr. Dalia Hakker-Orion wrote about him:

Benjamin Peleg is a consistent and authentic artist. Using a unique language in his visual and written art he documents his personal experiences that intertwine with the collective experience of the Jewish people.

In Benjamin Peleg’s works I discovered that the word painting includes the word pain.

Benjamin Peleg told me that the Nazis marked most of the Jews not by a yellow Star of David but by a yellow triangle, as in this painting.
