MY TAPESTRIES: 35 SERIES > The Shoah (I-II)
THE SHOAH (I)
– The Shive-Bird’s List
According to the Tradition, birds carry our prayers to God. I imagine these songs of the Shoah (especially the ones by or about children) as prayers of remembrance for the Yiddish poet Itzik Manger’s shive-foygl, the bird of mourning, to bring on her flight.
