Emil Weiss was our neighbour
whom the Nacis shot into a mass grave.
Miraculously he stayed alive
while all of his family was murdered.
I remember him having only one eye
and playing very sad melodies on the violin…

The Pieta of Michelangelo is for me one of the greatest works of art and the most powerful expression of human emotion.
Here she sits obove corpses of babies...
Victims of wars...
Their blood creates the core of the Earth...

In the backround of the Synagouge‘s interiour my grandparents... perished in Auschwitz...

mass grave.
