In this work of non-fiction, scholar Edith Balas looks at the "sophisticated, complex, and symbolic" paintings of Romanian artist Valentin Lustig as they relate to the unique experience of growing up as a child with the ghosts of the Holocaust. Through her careful criticism of Lustig's surreal and often horrific images, Balas makes the reality of the Holocaust accessible to generations succeeding those who experienced the tragedy first hand. This text is surely one that will be noted as an excellent tool for promoting the understanding of a historical period which continues to have an enormous impact on humankind.
