Today I discovered Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945), an amazing German artist whose powerful anti war work spanned the turbulence and dangers of two wars.

In July 1936, she was visited by the Gestapo and threatened with arrest and deportation to a Nazi concentration camp. She and her husband resolved to commit suicide to avoid that fate. Fortunately, no further action was taken against her.
