Marika

This is a screenshot taken this afternoon. Marika and I speak or see each other every Friday. Marika was a hidden child during the Holocaust. She has written a book about her story and a documentary has recently been released about her life. As a Jungian therapist she worked through her trauma with artwork and needlepoint tapestries. It’s quite a story. If you are interested, here’s a link to the book https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hidden-Girl-Journey-Soul/dp/0856835226. The film is called Chaos Dragon and the Light.

Looks like a beautiful lady and sounds like an interesting book. Must check it out.

Like you, I treasure my conversations with my elderly friends! It crushes me that so many many others, who could have been like Marika with her brilliant mind and storytelling capabilities were exterminated. The further wrong-headed thinking in these protests leaves me dumbfounded further! Bless you for featuring your friend!

A wonderful portrait of a great woman. Thanks for the link and film title, I will certainly look into it.

Your lines really affect me as a German. Never forget! Never again! That's why her book and the film are so important.

I just saw this beautiful face and soul. Thank you for the link. I will see if my library can get it, if not I shall order it.

It's a beautiful story. I've always wondered why the world waited so long for these stories to emerge. We will no longer hear so many stories because their participants passed away before they began to be heard.
