Title: It's My Whole Life: Charlotte Salomon: An Artist in Hiding During World War II

Author: Susan Wider

Narrator: Amanda Dolan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 02:39:34

Language: English

Release date: 10-04-22

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Kids, Biography & Memoir

Summary:

Its my whole life are the words Charlotte Salomon is said to have used to describe a series of thirteen hundred paintings she created between 1940 and 1942 while in hiding from the Nazis. The paintings are an extraordinary, vivid

document: saturated in the sunlit colors of the Mediterranean; full of powerfully expressed love, anxiety, joy, and despair; and arranged as a sequential narrative overlayed with painted words, like a graphic novel. The story they tell is one of a

prosperous childhood in prewar Berlin, of fleeing from the Nazi regime after Kristallnacht, and of going into hiding in southern France. There, as the war closed in, Charlotte Salomon painted feverishly, documenting her life and the often

troubled lives of her family, her escape to and existence in France, and her struggle to come to terms with the darkness falling around her. When Germany took control of the region, she packed up the paintings and gave them to a friend

for safekeeping. Shortly afterward, she was captured and deported to Auschwitz, where she was murdered.

Charlotte Salomons painted memoir has been compared to Anne Franks universally famous work as a visual analog to Annes diary. It tells a compelling storynot only of the war and the Holocaust, but of a passionate, creative young

woman hungering for a place in the world and the ability to express herself. In Its My Whole Life, Susan Wider charts Charlottes life and illuminates her work in a distinctive biography for young readers.
