A collaged landscape comprising numerous pages of text ripped from books: one in English, one in Yiddish, then burned and arranged to overlap, drawing attention to the specific attack on Jewish culture, alluding not only to the texts that perished in the book burnings, but also to the fate of all those who lost their lives in the Holocaust.
