Heaps of Shoes 1995 48" X 36" We were ordered to remove all our clothes and shoes. It was winter and I remember standing in the snow without shoes. After a long time I felt no pain. Gold teeth were yanked out. Heaps and heaps of shoes, clothes, hair. Mixed media on wood including: Photo facsimiles from the United State Holocaust Memorial Museum, Smithsonian, Washington, D.C. Shoes formerly belonging to Mina Cohen, Elana, and Yael Berenson and puzzle pieces of children's body parts.
