The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity. ~Walt Whitman

In an age like ours, which is not given to letter-writing, we forget what an important part it used to play in people’s lives. ~Anatole Broyard

A letter to the Stars

“I had confirmed that my dear parents and sister were murdered at Maly Trostinec, near Minsk.” ( Outdoor exhibition- Austria, in the memory of the Holocaust people)

and because of that “event”…I guess you want a better future for your children, you want to see “us” in a world without fear and you want the war to end…
