  • The associated music is the Christmas carol "Am Weihnachtsbaum die Lichter brennen" - "The Christmas tree is bright with candles" (the preceding gouache includes Christmas scenes).
  • The gouache depicts the fictional Charlotte Kann (representing Salomon herself and always referred to in the third person) in bed with her mother Franziska. The text reads:
  • FRANZISKA 'Im Himmel ist es viel schöner, als es auf dieser Erde ist - und wenn dann deine Mutti ein Engelein geworden ist, dann kommt sie runter und bringt dem Häschen und bringt einen Brief, indem sie sagt, wie es im Himmel, wie es im Himmel oben ist.' Franziska war ziemlich sentimental veranlagt. Oft nahm sie das Kind zu sich ins Bett und erzählte ihr von einem Leben nach dem Tode in himmlischen Sphären - das ganz herrlich sein sollte und nachdem sie furchtbare Sehnsucht zu haben schien, und sie fragte Charlotte oft, ob es nicht schön wäre, wenn ihre Mutter ein Engel mit Flügeln würde. Charlotte fand das auch sehr schön, nur aber bat sie die Mutter, nicht zu vergessen, ihr in einem Brief - den die als Engel persönlich zu überbringen hatte und auf Charlottens Fensterbrett deponiert werden mußte - mitzuteilen, wie es im Himmel oben sei. Nach derselben Melodie.
  • FRANZISKA 'In Heaven it's much nicer than down here - and when Mommy has turned into a little angel she'll come down and bring you her dear little kitty and a letter telling you what it's like up there, what it's like up in Heaven'. Franziska was of a somewhat sentimental nature at heart. She often took the child to bed with her to explain what life after death was like in the celestial spheres, how simply glorious it all must be and how frightfully she longed to be there too, and she often asked Charlotte how splendid it would be if her Mommy turned into an angel with wings. Charlotte could only agree, but asked her mother especially not to forget to tell her in the letter, which she had to deliver personally as an angel and leave on Charlotte's windowsill, what it was all like up there. To the same tune.

  • The bulk of Charlotte Salomon's work was published for the purposes of US law when her estate gifted her work to the Charlotte Salomon Foundation at the Joods Historisch Museum in 1971. If follows that the bulk of her work only enters the Public Domain in the US 95 years later at the end of 2066. In addition an earlier tranche of some 80 gouaches published in 1963 both in the US and abroad entered the Public Domain in the US in 1992 because their copyright was not renewed. However these gouaches may have had their copyright restored under the terms of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) depending on whether their original publication in the US coincided or not with their publication abroad. It is not Commons policy to host URAA restored works.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
 Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
Copyrighted in the U.S. This work may not be in the public domain in the United States because its U.S. copyright was restored by the URAA as it was still copyrighted in its source country on the URAA date (January 1, 1996 in most cases but see Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights for details). In most cases, it is copyrighted in the U.S. until 95 years after the year in which it was initially published (exceptions are works published after 1977; see Commons:Hirtle chart). This template may not be used for files uploaded after 1 March 2012.
