Stalingrad Madonna
The Stalingrad Madonna is an image of the Virgin Mary drawn by a German soldier, Kurt Reuber, in 1942 in Stalingrad (now Volgograd), Russia, during the Battle of Stalingrad. The original is displayed in the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, Berlin, whilst copies now hang in the cathedrals of Berlin, Coventry and Kazan Cathedral, Volgograd as a sign of the reconciliation between Germany and the United Kingdom and Russia, which were enemies during the Second World War.〔Perry, p. 7.〕
==Design==
The piece is a simple charcoal sketch, measuring three feet by four feet . Mary is depicted wrapped in a large shawl, holding the infant Jesus close to her cheek. On the right border are the words ''Licht, Leben, Liebe'' ("Light, Life, Love"), from the Gospel of John. On the left, Reuber wrote ''Weihnachten im Kessel 1942'' ("Christmas at the Siege 1942") and at the bottom ''Festung Stalingrad'' ("Fortress Stalingrad").''Kessel'' ("Cauldron"), is the German term for an encircled military area, and Fortress Stalingrad was the label for the encircled army promoted in the Nazi press.〔(Feldgrau.com )〕
