Renowned authors like Leo Tolstoy and Ernest Hemingway have opposed wars and violence through their works. For artists such as Pablo Picasso, their creations served as a profound way to express horror and raise awareness. They narrated stories to awaken and alert the public.
Other notable literary works were crafted in concentration camps or at the frontlines.
