EXHIBIT - THREADS OF MEMORY   |
| |
The eight "memory quilts" in this exhibit and their
accompanying narratives are compelling testimonies to the resiliency
of the human spirit and a moving memorial to the families of
the craftsmen and craftswomen who were murdered in the Holocaust.
Read their words carefully and study their work - we will not
see their like again.

| SELFHELP |
| Inspired
by the example of those who overcame tragedy to build new lives
and reach out to the community, Selfhelp's ongoing commitment
to victims of Nazi persecution has expanded to include home
and community based services to the elderly and others at risk
of oising independence and dignity. Their home care, social
service, and senior housing programs enrich the lives of frail,
ill, and disabled individuals by enabling them to remain at
home and participate in the community. |
