HIM (2001) is a sculpture by Maurizio Cattelan. It is a life-size depiction of Adolf Hitler as a schoolboy kneeling in prayer.
The sculpture is frequently displayed at the end of a long hallway or at the opposite end of a white room, turned away from the viewer so that they aren't be able to recognize the individual until they advance close enough. Seen from far, the figure resembles a schoolboy. Only when up close does the viewer notice that the head has been replaced with the realistic likeness of Adolf Hitler.
In 2013[1], it was displayed in a courtyard in the former Warsaw Ghetto.
