Notes
  • This work is a gouache by Charlotte Salomon, part of her principal work Life? or Theatre?. It depicts the so-called Kristallnacht, a series of coordinated attacks against Jews throughout Nazi Germany and parts of Austria on 9–10 November 1938. The gouache preceding depicts an edition of Der Angriff ( a Nazi newspaper) dealing with the pretext for the attacks, the murder of the German diplomat Ernst vom Rath by Herschel Grynszpan. The gouaches are placed by editors to commence the section New Section, Chapter One: And Time Marches On in the Main Section of the work.
  • There is a transparency thought to be associated with this gouache. For the Jewish Historical Museum interactive page use this link.
  • The text at the top left reads "Juda verrecke! Nehmt alles, was Ihr nehmen könnt!" ("Death to Jews! Grab what you can!") The picture depicts a row of houses with swastika flags hanging from every window. Below are Jewish shops with names like Levy and Cohen being looted by rioters. In the middle of the square a book-burning appears to be taking place. In the lower right three dejected detainees are being frogmarched away (Felstiner pp. 75-7).

(Reusing this file)
  • The bulk of Charlotte Salomon's work was published for the purposes of US law when her estate gifted her work to the Charlotte Salomon Foundation at the Joods Historisch Museum in 1971. If follows that the bulk of her work only enters the Public Domain in the US 95 years later at the end of 2066. In addition an earlier tranche of some 80 gouaches published in 1963 both in the US and abroad entered the Public Domain in the US in 1992 because their copyright was not renewed. However these gouaches may have had their copyright restored under the terms of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) depending on whether their original publication in the US coincided or not with their publication abroad. It is not Commons policy to host URAA restored works.

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
Copyrighted in the U.S. This work may not be in the public domain in the United States because its U.S. copyright was restored by the URAA as it was still copyrighted in its source country on the URAA date (January 1, 1996 in most cases but see Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights for details). In most cases, it is copyrighted in the U.S. until 95 years after the year in which it was initially published (exceptions are works published after 1977; see Commons:Hirtle chart).
