I agree. Is there a museum or Jewish cultural center in your area that could display it. It should be coupled with a photo exhibit as well so it does not stand alone.

Very good attention to detail.
Sometimes in this hobby, we do have to think about the regimes that deploy the machines that we love to build.

Very good attention to detail.



On that note: Positioning of the figures has been very realistically achieved — looks like much thought was put into the process.

Hi

I like your diorama, a thought provoking and a sad reminder of a terrible time in our worlds history. It would be great if others outside our model world could see it and start to learn from it. As fan of most dioramas I would like to know more about the models and figures that you used and how you went about setting it up.

After 1,5 years I've recently finished this one. Thought it needed to be remembered














VERY NICELY DONE! This dio portrays an accurate glimpse into a very telling facet of the NAZI Terror that was taking place all over Europe prior to and during the War Years. I see nothing wrong in portraying HISTORICAL FACT. This kind of horrendous thing, and many worse events have been shown in innumerable books, TV shows and movies, so why not in 1/35 scale? There are quite a few Holocaust Memorial Museums, showing what happened via captured NAZI photos and films, and carefully concealed photos and films made by the Prisoners themselves, German Military "bystanders" and individuals of the local populace, so there is nothing to be ashamed of in constructing this diorama, and in displaying it in an appropriate manner.

My Dad, by birth a Western Ukrainian, was required to serve in the Polish Army, as the Western Ukraine was under Polish rule as a result of Versailles. He served at first with the Polish Cavalry, and was severely injured in a Steeple Chase during a Polish Army Demonstration "show". His horse came down on top of him after having unsuccessfully jumped over one of the barriers. After several months of being hospitalized, he was re-assigned into the Horse Artillery, in which he remained until his capture by HEER troops in September, 1939. He was subsequently turned over to the SS, as many Polish POWs were.

During his time as a prisoner in SS hands, he saw many atrocities and horrors committed; he lived in constant terror... How he managed to survived is a very long story, and this is not the time, or the place to discuss it, as we are concerned with another, albeit historically-related story in this particular forum. Let me just say that I grew up knowing on a personal level what kind of bestiality the Allegemeine SS, Totenkopfverbaende, (the Waffen SS, as well) and the GESTAPO were capable of.

On a happier note, after being liberated by American Troops, my Dad met and fell in love with a German girl, who eventually became my Mom. Love works in strange ways...

This is avery powerfull diorama of a very dark period of the 20TH century. Excellent portrayel and very thought provoking of a delicate subject. We should never forget the poor unfortunate souls and cost in lives durning this period in history.
