  Catechism
1997
48" X 36"

The nuns gave them shelter. They nursed her sister back to health. The nuns taught them about their faith. They were safe but how would they stay Jewish if they stayed with the nuns? Later in the hospital when she was delirious, all she could say was the catechism. They gave her excellent care.

 

Mixed media on canvas including: Sections from a child's toy Torah scroll.
