About the Book
A visit to Eastern Europe in the spring of 2007 had a profound effect on Linda Dubin Garfi eld, printmaker/ mixed media artist. The idea for a series of work based on her trip was born in the narrow streets of Prague, in the rolling hills of Hungary and in the darkened cells of Terezin. Who could not know what was happening? Who could not see what was going on? What illusions did people accept to mask the Holocaust that was happening outside their windows? Didn’t people wonder where the Jewish people went when they disappeared? The artist’s series Behind the Scene/Seen deals with the issues embedded in this landscape: reality/illusion, past/ present, and history/future generations. The voice of my brother’s blood is crying to me from the ground. Genesis, 4:10
