100(plus a little) word description

My artistic piece represents George Benedict (my grandpa), a holocaust survivor, and Cesar Chavez, a civil rights activist. The window, to me, represents looking back on history and remembering to keep the bad from happening again. In each of the four sections of the window I have drawn a scene from history. The first two scenes show kids before and during the holocaust. Before the holocaust the kids are having fun playing soccer (as Benedict did as a child). During the holocaust, the children were fighting to stay alive. The next two scenes show field workers in the fields and people living in a big house. These represent a group of people being mistreated and others benefiting from their hard work.
