August 2025 Portrait of the Month — Dora Zylberberg

Dora Zylberberg

August’s Portrait of the Month features Dora Zylberberg. It was created by a Natalia C., a student in Dora’s home country, Poland. Darkness and light are used beautifully in this portrait; Dora’s face emerges from the shadows with pensiveness and quiet emotion.

Students around the world have reflected on the experience of drawing Dora’s portrait:

“Me and this person have a great connection because while I was drawing it was like she was guiding me.”

“I actually connected with her. In her photo she looked like she was trying to hide her emotion with strength.”

“It was fun and emotional at times, and I felt connected to the unknown victims.”
