At 15, Esther Nisenthal Krinitz defied Nazi orders, separating from her family as they and the other Jews of her Polish village reported to a nearby train station. With her sister in tow, she survived the war by hiding in plain sight of the Gestapo, posing as a Polish farm girl; they never saw their family again. At 50, haunted by memories, she felt compelled to show her own children the family she'd lost, and all that she'd witnessed and experienced during the war. Untrained as an artist, but trained as a seamstress, she turned to needle and thread, ultimately creating thirty-six large, hauntingly beautiful, and exquisitely detailed works of fabric collage and embroidery - a legacy borne of love, loss, and the sheer force of memory.
