Käthe Kollwitz’s War Diary

    

In terms of human lives, World War I was extremely brutal and costly. One young German soldier killed in 1914 was the son of the artist Käthe Kollwitz, who is famous for her strong woodblock prints and sculptures showing human suffering. In her diary of the war years, Kollwitz reflected on her son’s death and the wastefulness of war.
