Recurrent motifs addressed by Roger Loewigs artworks are walls, rivers, fences, broken bridges, injured or dead bodies. These representations draw inspiration from the personal experiences of the Second World War, making a clear statement against any form of violence and repression.

The lithography 'Paar hinter einem Zaun' [Couple behind a fence], 30 x 42 cm, created in 1971, is the fourth sheet of the series 'Mein Mund webt ein Fangnetz für den Tod' [My mouth forms a catch net for death]. The series, including eight sheets, was created shortly before the artist's departure from the GDR. It accounts for the artworks created illegally during the period when the artist access to the printing machines was prohibited. 1971 it is also the year when his request to leave the GDR for West Berlin was granted. Thus one can account these series among Loewig's last productions while still in the GDR.

Liturgical Lamps

The collection has the largest group of liturgical church lamps in Europe. According to Alina Galvanauskienė, the head of the Museum of the 1863 Rebellion, many visitors are very surprised when they see so many lamps in one room. They show particular features of the collection, and of Fr Stanislovas' attitude towards material things. First of all, these items refer to religion, and collecting them was not included in the Soviet ideological understanding of what the cultural heritage meant. Secondly, the restoration of these lamps was done in a very particular way, without the meticulous and precise renewal of an old product, and not attempting to make something look as it did many years ago. The lamps have been restored by showing each part in a different colour. Thirdly, the main idea in the restoration was the process itself, rather than the restored object (an item). This meant that Fr Stanislovas sought to involve local people, visitors, members of the intelligentsia and craftsmen, in order to bring them together through activity, collecting and restoring things, and forming a community as a result of joint work.

Loose page and notebooks written in Lefortovo prison and the Mordovian camps

The papers of Andrei Sinyavsky in the Hoover Archives are very rich, amounting to 130 manuscript boxes and 1 oversized box. As such, the curator of the Russia and Eurasia Collection at the HIA was hesitant to choose among all the possibilities, saying that it was far too soon for researchers to come to a consensus about what are the most valuable artifacts in this vast collection. For the COURAGE project, Siniavskii's notebooks written in pencil during his stay in Lefortovo Prison and during his trial in Moscow are particularly relevant, as they document Siniavskii's conflict with the Soviet authorities. These notebooks include materials used for several key literary works, including Golos iz khora, Progulki s Pushkinym, V teni Gogolia, and Ivan-Durak.
