The poster is based on the image of the Virgin and Child, easily recognizable in countries whose citizens suffered from the Holocaust during the Nazi regime of Germany. The image is transformed into a woman prisoner with a baby and then into the figures of prisoners by fractal geometry. The Jews, Gypsies, Slovenes, Serbs, Poles, Eastern Slavs, as well as people with non-traditional sexual orientation, Masons, Jehovah's Witnesses, disabled people, mentally ill people were subjected to the Holocaust. The background of the poster is stripes two cm width. They imitate the fabric of the robes of prisoners of concentration camps. The stripes are marked with dates that indicate the dates of adoption of the laws of the fascist regime (which were the legal basis of the genocide), the main stages of genocide, commemorative dates of mourning. They are stylized as prisoner numbers. The colored triangles and distinguishing marks of the prisoners complement the belonging of these dates to certain pages of the Holocaust.
