Lost and Found — Alison Leslie Gold

Alison Leslie Gold, known best for her work on Anne Frank and the Holocaust, relates a personal memoir, centred on recent losses of loved ones and on various findings that to some extent offset the losses. This is explored through a series of letters, a meditation on ageing, friendship, and the sort of ‘translation' required when writing to the dead. Her text is accompanied by 13 paintings from Charlotte Salomon's timeless masterpiece Leben? oder Teater?
