 SHALOM  FROM DEVI TUSHINSKI

Paris10.4.2000

Dear Friends From my City of Płock,

Thank you for the invitation for the 2nd of May 2000.
My heart is with you in this day of memory.

You know that I accepted to go back to Płock with my exhibition after 60 years in the city of our ancestors, but I only found the synagogue of Szeroka street where I celebrated my Bar Mitzva/ It was a difficult experience for me to walk on stones made of tears and blood. But I showed that our art is still alive and also our memory...

To Moniek My Brother

20 years I create the Psalms.
My days were black, but I escaped the flood.
Roman, Felix and Tola came out of the fire
with burned and numbered wings.
They looked at the black smoke of our little brother Moniek...
The blessed Tzadik, the young son of our family
who was murdered by gas in Auschwitz.
Black remained the color of my pen, of my brush.
I wished to give him a place among the living, among the color of life,
the color of the rainbow,
that has never been looked at and its air was never breathed again.
I dedicated to him my miniatures, the Psalms of King David.
I wish that the music of my drawings would revive his memory.
I wish that the leaves of papers would be the tombstone of his unknown grave.
And a visible memorial to the memory of human beings.
And a symbol to this blindness - stricken period, that has been ours.
And which will never be again.
Never, until the end of times...
