Rendered in watercolour with the loose, expressive confidence of a truly gifted portraitist, Portrait of a Girl is a study in restrained emotion. The subject, a young girl in a pale blue dress with a delicate turquoise necklace, gazes directly at the viewer with dark, solemn eyes. Her gaze is arresting, her expression neither sad nor joyful but deeply present, deeply human. 🖼️

Gela Seksztajn was a Jewish Polish artist of remarkable talent and even more remarkable courage. When Nazi Germany established the Warsaw Ghetto in 1940, Seksztajn did not lay down her brushes. Instead, she channelled her gifts into nurturing the souls of those around her, working as an art teacher in charitable soup kitchens for children, creating costumes and decorations for ghetto theatre productions, and organising exhibitions of children's artwork. She painted her daughter, her husband, her colleagues, and the children who came hungry to the social kitchens she served. In the bleakest of circumstances, she kept beauty alive. 🕯️

Seksztajn's works survive today only because of the Oyneg Shabbos group (known in Modern Israeli Hebrew as Oneg Shabbat), a clandestine collective led by Jewish historian Dr. Emanuel Ringelblum. This remarkable group of historians, writers, rabbis, and social workers dedicated themselves to documenting life inside the Ghetto, collecting diaries, essays, testimonies, drawings, and wall posters from volunteers of all ages. Their work began in September 1940 and ended in January 1943.

Knowing the end was near, they buried the entire archive underground in two milk cans and ten metal boxes. The collection, now known as the Ringelblum Archive and held by the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw, was unearthed after the war. Without this act of extraordinary foresight and bravery, Seksztajn's paintings would have been lost to history forever. The Portrait of a Girl we see today exists because people risked everything to ensure it would.
