Everybody knows Franz Kafka, but almost no one knows his sister Ottla. She was gassed on arrival at Auschwitz on Oct 7, 1943 after volunteering to escort a group of orphans from the Terezin ghetto so they wouldnβt be afraid.

Dramatic oil painting of waves in a stormy sea: Blues, olive greens and ochres, mixed with warm white in lines and swirls of dark and light. A sky of dark clouds and bright light above it.
Said the wave to the one behind
'There is an end to the sea'
'Impossible,' said the wave behind
'Nothing can stop me'
