Ana Zlatkes – Puntadas de Vida / Stitches of Life

Description

Artist Statement: Here, Ana depicts the genocide inflicted by the Nazi regime on Jews during the Second World War and the courageous work of people like Irena Sendler, a Polish social worker and Nicholas Winton, a London stock exchange worker who led children to safety. She reflects, “this is my first homage to all the men and women who had the courage to fight defending the lives of children. Today after making this arpillera I am not the same”.
