This piece tells the poignant story of a Holocaust survivor who tossed a postcard from a boxcar while being transported by the Nazis. The postcard conveyed messages of love and hope, along with specific directions for where the family should meet if the war ended and they survived. The actual card was ultimately found and shared with me by the family members during one of my workshops. This piece serves as a powerful symbol of enduring hope and the personal connections that persisted despite the horrors of the time.
