Esther Nisenthal Krinitz, a Holocaust survivor, used fabric and stitches to tell her daughters the story of the family she had loved and lost. In these two half-day workshops, participants will learn about Esther’s art and story, and then create their own story-cloths about their own families. The October workshop will be geared to include immigrants and their family members, who can also share stories of their journey to the United States, akin to Esther’s own image of Coming to America included in the DAR exhibit.
