Holocaust Art: "It Takes But One" by Elizabeth Denholm and Alyssa Dziurlaj

What visual techniques are employed in this painting?
Some of the visual techniques that are employed within the painting include; contrast, colour,
How do these visual techniques highlight major thematic elements of holocaust art and literature?

The use of contrast within the poster is used to heighten the difference between the blank faces and the Jews, the power of many compared to the single hand within the side and that one persons can make a difference. By the use of scale it does look like the big hand can give hope to a crowd of people. Also the use of the 'bleeding black' and that the faceless group that are doing nothing to help.
