Preserving Lost Innocence: Fanny Sosnowik
Fanny Sosnowik was born in Paris on February 11, 1931. Her formative years were overshadowed by the brutal realities of the occupation and anti-Semitic persecution in France. On August 17, 1942, at the age of eleven, Fanny was deported from the Drancy transit camp on Convoy No. 20 to the Auschwitz-Birkenau German Nazi concentration and extermination camp. Immediately following the selection process upon arrival, she was murdered in a gas chamber.
In his portrait of Fanny Sosnowik, Marek Hausmann transcends the historical detachment of archival records, transforming memory into a tangible, emotional encounter. Through expressive oil impasto, sensitive tonal transitions, and an intense focus on the young girl’s gaze, the artist reclaims her individual humanity from the anonymity of the Shoah. The canvas stands not merely as a record of loss, but as an enduring act of restitution—honoring her dignity, identity, and stolen future.
This painting is strictly non-commercial and forms part of the curated series „Auschwitz: Children of Jacob”, created exclusively for institutional display in museums, memorial venues, and historical foundations.
