Faigy's Wallet
Nicole's great great grandmother Faigy and her three children had a difficult time during the war in Russia. They didn't have anything to eat until Faigy found a wallet lying on the road on her walk to a different village. She was able to provide for her family and they were able to move to Chile. Nicole made an art project that illustrates her values and feelings when she was living in Russia and when she moved to Chile.

It was the deadliest conflict in human history, marked by 70 to 85 million fatalities. Tens of millions of people died due to genocides (including the Holocaust), premeditated death from starvation, massacres, and disease. Aircraft played a major role in the conflict, including in the use of strategic bombing of population centres, and the only uses of nuclear weapons in war.
