Because of their bystander qualities Hitler became stronger and stronger. When all we had to do was stand together at the first sign of evil and face him head on. I selected to do the allegory‚ not at first but after some time. At first I wanted to do a scrapbook but that required a lot

Completed in 1659‚ Allegory of Fortune
