The war, its causes and consequences: cruelty, suffering, separation, fear, despair, death; and at the same time thirst of peace, happiness, order and home esteem – they are the main subjects of twelve paintings on glass by Zdzisław Walczak and Janina Walczak-Budzicz nee Jarosz. The artists coming from Zakopane are well-known folk artists and advocates of valuable folk tradition from Podhale.

These works were sent in 1986 as a result of „Against war” nationwide exhibition organized by the State Museum at Majdanek and the Main Board of Folk Artists. They are important part of very rich collection of modern art devoted to martyrdom and antiwar themes gathered at the State Museum at Majdanek.
