Memories of Survival In a series of extraordinary embroidered panels, Esther Krinitz tells how as a 15 year old, she and her younger sister lived through the Holocaust in Poland. Disguised as Catholic farmhands, the two Jewish girls survived the war, only to discover afterwards that the rest of their family had perished. Esther's words are accompanied by her daughter's own commentary which expands the historical context. The artwork has a complicated beauty: it conjures up a lost world of childhood whilst telling the harrowing story of its destruction.
