In this picture the motives are organized as customary in shields, and naive painted glass. The Hebrew God, his face hidden by a lamp held in front of him, sits on his throne above the globe, at the top of smoke rising from a crematory's chimney, above a banner declaring "Arbeit mach frei". The photographs of members of her family, living and dead, are arranged symmetrically in the picture. In the fire and in the sky are the pictures of her father and Ámos, below either side are the living members of the family, herself, her mother and her elder son peeping out from behind the Earth.
