Handwritten Czech text, transcribed into English is printed over contemporary and historical photographic images from the concentration camps. Th hand written manuscript is printed on translucent pages. Family photographs provide a poignant contrast to these horrific accounts. Die cut pages fall around a flesh colored, handmade paper cast of each parent's forearm, tattooed with its ineradicable number. Silkscreen and cast handmade paper."
