"Violins in the Snow" is a multi-part image-photo-text book by two sisters about the lingering effects of the Nazi persecution of Jews on the present day. The tabooed history of loss and displacement of their mother, who managed to flee Germany in time as a "lucky child" with her parents, is at the center of the narrative. Eve Stockhammer and Iris Ritzmann approach this hidden story through images, texts, and photo albums. Portraits and short biographies of Holocaust survivors living in Switzerland provide resonance for individual fates and offer a space for reflection for future generations. An explanatory framework is provided by the prologue written by author and publicist Katarina Holländer.
