Fear and suffering are the meeting point between young Polish children from the time of the World War and Ukrainian children who live today with what is going on in their country, as their drawings displayed in Warsaw show.
Dorota Sadowska, curator of the exhibition in Warsaw, says, "The way children imagine war, what they feel and convey through their drawings, is very similar...it is a suffering that they express spontaneously and simply."
The traveling exhibition includes hundreds of drawings, and in addition to being held in Polish cities, it will be organized by joint Polish and Ukrainian efforts outside Poland.
The drawings of Ukrainian children who witnessed Russia's invasion of their country were taken from the collection published on the "My Mother...Watching War" project website.
The children used pens to draw and color their works, while they used digital tools to complete some of them.
