Commission on BBC2 tonight at 9pm Comes after a one year project.
Throughout the program, we hear testimonies from prominent men and women who were children when they witnessed one of the greatest atrocities in human history and meet the artists involved in their paintings. We attend some sessions and witness the impressive friendship that has been established between the artist and the caretaker for almost two years.The full portrait, destined for the royal collection, will be unveiled at the Queen's Gallery in Buckingham Palace. They represent pain and loss, as well as dignity and hope, and serve as a lasting reminder of the horrors that will one day be lost in living memory.
