None of us can hear six million voices at the same time. None of us can imagine the landscape of Auschwitz, Birkenau, Treblinka, Bergen-Belsen and the many other concentration and death camps. None of us can describe the odor of Auschwitz or the pain of a parent whose child was torn away. No words are adequate for this task. The art cannot express it. And still, all of us who survived took a silent oath, made a promise to tell a glimpse of the story.
Not to let the world forget. My art and my writing are my Kaddish for those who did not survive.
