Aubrey Springer took third place for her artwork in the annual Spokane Community Observance of the Holocaust 2018 Art and Essay Contests. Her piece is based on a Gandhi quote, “Be the Change That You Wish to See.”

‘Be the Change That You Wish to See’ – Gandhi

We can’t change what we can’t see. People let the propaganda used by Hitler cover their view on the truth. Millions of innocent people were murdered and many good people turned a blind eye to what was happening. By taking small steps and using illusion, Hitler was able to harm thousands right under their noses. Now we can look back and clearly see the truth of what really happened. Hate can only be overcome when we choose to see it. The world can only change when we choose to open our eyes and see the change that we can make.
