“Return to Zdunska Wola” shows, from my point of view, the disappearance that occurred in 1942 with the liquidation of the Jewish ghetto by the Nazis and the assassination of almost my entire Zdunska Wola family
This return and renewal was made possible by K’amila Klauzinska, citizen of the city, (involved with the history of Zdunska Wola and Jewish studies), who saw my work on Facebook and invited me to participate in the cultural and artistic events, this month, in the Museum of Zdunska Wola, by an exhibition of my works screened on TV…(see below the invitation).
This in some way summarize and shows the path of return to Zdunska Wola 2014 of myself and my family , 72 years after 1942….
My works in this exhibition are not meticulous drawings, on the contrary thy where created in moments of pressure of the events in 1941, but, by a person who lives in 2014 and remembers his own fears as a child hidden from the Nazis for four years in Belgium (1940-1944).
Still the drawings are “ordinary” but supposedly created in Zdunska Wola 1941, 72 years back in time as if I where some kind of alien coming from the “Planet 2014 … ”
And Indeed my signature at the bottom of the works symbolize this: “2014………Z.W. 1941…..”name of the work”,,,,,,, שלמה “… Something like a code or more exactly- a password to my past, named Zdunska Wola.
