The devil drew his short scythe and nearly all of European Jewry was cut down. As a little girl, I tried to slip away from its blade. For the past 20 years, I have prayed and danced again.

Dear Sara, as someone who works daily with Holocaust survivors, I must say I was deeply moved reading your life story. The website is very impressive and the artworks are especially powerful. Well done for the sacred work you do for future generations.

Your website is extremely impressive. You can feel the strength emerging from the works. Your personal and family story is moving and unique. Credit to you for channeling it into creation.

Your images are deeply moving and show younger generations the reality that was. Despite nations that deny the Holocaust, your work is invaluable.

The exhibition of cast body parts was extraordinary for me. Your courage in casting your grandchildren's hands was an unusual step, and the grandchildren proved how deeply connected they are to you.
