This piece is a Story Quilt which is a traditional American Folk Art form usually used to depict Bible stories or family histories or to commemorate events. Here I have used Appliqué and embroidery to from the main figure and the blocks that surround it. I wanted to use a quilt here because ever since I was a child I have been kept awake by thoughts of the Holocaust. I was told by my father and grandfather about our relatives who perished so often that they became a part of my life even though they had been murdered long before I was born.
