1940-1945 Remembered Item date(s): 1991 Nelleke Nix Pages: unpaged Size: 273mm Place publication: Seattle, WA Publisher: Nelleke Nix Studio Gallery Inc Additional notes: Illustrated on page 108 of The Book as Art, Artists' Books from the National Museum of Women in the Arts, 2006. Reference note: Nix states in her preface: I felt that our children in the United States knew so little about war that perhaps it would be a challenge to create a non-scary book that told about things that happened during a war. I recalled some of my most vivid childhood memories and wrote about my experiences in Holland during WWII I used the names of people because they should not be forgotten... Please consider this artists book as an expression of happiness I feel because I survived and as a reminder that war is not about armies but very much about fathers mothers and children.
