This book is a memoir, collection of poems, stories and visual images, about the life and history of my family, between the years 1916 to 1960. The writings are based on testimonies' of events and include poetry, short stories and artworks made by my mother and me. I find that the use of poetry and visual imagery to tell about the Holocaust is a very powerful tool. Art imagery communicates in an emotional format. Its' impact is more immediate then the written word. It also helps others with their reaction to what they see and feel about this intense subject matter.
