Description
Ruth Liberman presents a number of her works and offers insights into the complex relations of her artworks to the Holocaust. Much of her work is concerned with words - in transcripts from court sessions, in letters by persons sentenced to death, from diaries etc. These words she wanted 'killed' not because of their meanings but because of their sounds. One word she wanted killed not for its sound but for its context: "Jude"
