Description
-
A metal box with lid contains the ninth volume. The Star of David is on the outside with stripped material on the inside, symbolizing the prison camp uniforms. A strap binds together the metal frame containing quotations from Exodus and quotations from Primo Levy and others on the reverse side.
The cover of the volume has a torn metal flower and 'Terezin-1944' is written on the edge of the binding. Inside the volume the text relates to the visit of the Danish Red Cross to Theresienstadt. There is some factual information and text laid over photographic imagery - one being a famous picture of a boy captured in the Warsaw ghetto uprising.
The art and writings of the children continues to be reproduced as well. The end quotations are taken from Elizabeth Barrett Browning's 'Cry of the Children.' Also, there is a time table for those who could be acknowledged and identified.
The volume was signed and completed in August 1994. The handmade paper was a mixture of hemp, abaca fibers. small wild flowers, sheets laminated with various colors and art tissue.
