Author: Ruth Preusse (ed.)
Israeli artist Inbar Chotzen learnt only late in life that some of her ancestors were victims of Nazi persecution. She approaches these lost lives by painting scenes from their everyday existence on the digitised cards – a silent dialogue with the past. This book presents the artworks and evidence of the persecution on which they are based, together with detailed historical background. Chotzen heard about the history of her Berlin relatives through their estate, which is preserved in the House of the Wannsee Conference. In addition to eight photo albums recording the lives of the parents and four sons between 1920 and 1942, there are 369 postcards sent by deported family members from Theresienstadt camp to their mother in Berlin.
ISBN 9783422803060. Deutscher Kunstverlag. hb. 160 pages. 100 colour ills. 17 x 24 cm.
