Began her own series of portraits of women in the ghetto. Deported to Treblinka, August 1942. d. January 1943.These photographs were saved by Adela K., a survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto. They were taken in a studio in the ghetto on Chlodna Street in June 1942. Because of the limited supply of photographic chemicals, they were never properly fixed and remain unstable under natural light. For this reason they are displayed behind red glass. Dora Fobert was Adela’s best friend.

The Lover, b. 1971. He was a beachcomber, a mandala-maker, a sand architect, a sculptor. He was forty years old, or he could have been seventy. The donkey was five years old, or he could have been sixteen. They had been with each other so long that the man felt that something had developed between them – a kinship – or it could have been love. To mark his love for his pet, he drew pictures of the donkey on his wall, and created a donkey shrine on the outside of his house.
