Being second generation to holocaust survivors, until now I shunned confronting my family's past, so full with suffering and terrible hardships. I felt an outsider. Nevertheless, I knew that in my individual psyche I carried the traces of generations past. In 2005 with the encouragement of my brother I began to paint images of our childhood and family roots. This creative process, surprisingly, opened in my psyche long sought for channels to remembering lost memories, acceptance of continuity, compassion, and belonging.
