In 1933, a German-born Jewish man named Bruno Schulz published a life of Jesus as a series of seventy-two black and white drawings. In this post, we provide an English translation of the work. In the introduction to this post I wanted to give you some historical context about what happened in 1933 and why these drawings were created. It wasn't until 2006 that Schulz's work was rediscovered and his status as a legend in contemporary art finally became well-known. The following is an extract from the Wikipedia article on Bruno Schulz: "Apostasy from Judaism became common during World War II because Jews were often blamed for Germany's defeat. Those who converted generally had more advantages in the Nazi system, like gaining the ability to obtain an identification card (Kennkarte), or joining some of the organizations (such as the Nazi party) which required people to be Aryan. Both options were closed for Jews. Additionally, some parents converted their children to keep them with them." Schulz's writings contain many parables about life under nazi occupation that are applicable today. He said that "to live means never giving up on oneself." A religious man, he seemed to want to escape from reality by writing these parables, which show his attempts at finding salvation through his writing. Because of this, it is no wonder that his most famous work is called "The Street of Crocodiles". This piece of writing is highly imaginative, and many reviewers compare it to Kafka's best work. A common theme in the book is the image of an old man, who represents Schulz himself. It has even become a very popular T-shirt design with pictures of Schulz often popping up on tee shirt websites. These excerpts are further evidence that Schulz was heavily influenced by Jewish culture. One can see this in his attempt to write stories with Christian themes but also by the fact that he was attempting to convert his children to Christianity at the time. In some of his stories, there are parallels between the life of Jesus and the life of a Polish worker. In fact, some scholars have even suggested that his writings were an inspiration to some Christian writers.In this first part, we have provided the English translation of the text written by Schulz. If you want to see all 72 drawings that accompany it, please scroll down to a photo gallery at the bottom of this post. This first part is mostly a biography of Jesus' birth and childhood. A fairly large portion is dedicated to describing Mary's upbringing and education before she becomes pregnant with Jesus by God himself. The story of how she was raised by a group of nuns is a bit unusual to read through. In the Catholic tradition, Mary was not allowed to be educated, as it was believed that women were unworthy to learn. Thus Mary's education is quite unusual. We also learn that Jesus' mother was illiterate and spoke only Hebrew. In addition, she believed in many other Jewish beliefs as well as Christian beliefs. For example, Mary Rachel was not only Catholic but also a vegetarian due to her vegetarian father who worked as a priest at the church she went to on Sundays. cfa1e77820
