The difficult father/son relationship broke my heart. But I’m a strong believer in bearing witness to the stories of holocaust survivors. If they had to live through it, the least I can do is hear what they have to say.

You won't believe this but after 4 hours reading I slipped into a gloomy mood I could not shake all day! Did you feel that too? Now I'm reading this at the end of the day...an will try to absorb as much as I can take.

However, I'm sure as you read this Nancy, you will see what I mean. Writing/drawing this was obviously a cathartic, revelatory experience for Art.
