Created in the same year as Dmytrenko's "1933", this drawing by the artist Victor Cymbal shows a skeleton-like mother with a dying (dead?) child not on the ground and gazing downward at the carnage, but rather flying through the stars.

Cymbal produced several different versions of this work in various media. Measuring over 15 feet tall and more than 5 feet wide, this drawing is by far the most imposing of them, and is one of the most monumental works of any kind in the UHEC's collections.

Cymbal was born in the Cherkasy region of Ukraine in 1901, participated in the Ukrainian War of Independence, was interred as a POW in Poland in the 1920s, and lived the rest of his life in exile in Prague, Buenos Aires, and New York City. In addition to his drawings and paintings, he was a graphic designer who created caricatures, ex libri, and advertising graphics.
