O God, keep not Thou silence; Hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God. For lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; And they that hate Thee have lifted up the head. Psalms: 83:2-3

‘Oh God, don’t be still because your enemies are roaring’
In Before Holocaust the scene is colorful, although the colors are subdued. The shades deceive the harsh truth. One group of figures seems to be happy–not yet surmising the approaching evil–while another group of characters looks less confident. Restless shapes accompany the figures–an indefinite, threatening mass getting closer.
