The publisher gifted me this book. My great grandfather painted in the interwar years and artist Toby Knobel Fluek painted (and wrote) her story after the war. But there are connections between the two stories - primarily the impulse to document the Polish Jewish community. The paintings are a lovely ode to Fluek‘s family and even the depressing wartime paintings beautifully illustrate and bear witness to history in an emotionally important way.
