My grandmother, Esther Nisenthal Krinitz, along with her sister Mania, were the only members of their family, and among the few Jews in their Polish village, to survive the Holocaust. At the age of 15, Esther refused the Nazi order for the Jews to report to a nearby railroad station for relocation. She and her sister separated from their family and never saw them again.
In 1977, at the age of 50, Esther Nisenthal Krinitz began creating works of fabric art to depict her stories of survival. Over a 20-year period she created a collection of 36 needlework and fabric collage pictures, which are currently on display at the Oceanside Museum of Art (just north of San Diego) through October 25th.
This Sunday, June 28th, at 2 pm, Esther’s daughters, Bernice Steinhardt and Helene McQuade, will be showing a 13-minute interview of the artist created by noted filmmaker Lawrence Kasdan, followed by a narrated slide presentation and Q&A session. We hope you can make it out, or see the exhibit sometime before the end of October.
