Summary:

Plank explores the boundaries that lie between those outside and inside the experience of the Holocaust, attempting to bridge the gap with the power of poetry, artifact, memory, and religious symbol. "Plank's work is authentic. Its truth painful. He has taken us close to the inside".--Michael Berenbaum, author of The World Must Know: The History of the Holocaust as Told in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
