Artist's statement:
"These images are the result of when I was a teenager seeing concentration camp newsreels at the old Wynward Newsreel Theatre, Sydney, in 1945-46. Secondly they arise from having lived in Bucharest for 4 years from 1951-55, where at the art institute I was befriended not only by Romanians who had terrible stories to recount - but also by Jewish Romanians and Hungarians, who had somehow survived the horrors of the Fascist Iron Guards"
