Having found some dolls next to the pictures of the objects that belonged to the victims of the holocaust caused me a strong impact. Maybe because I’ve always liked dolls myself. They were my childhood companions to whom I would make clothes, bundle, comb, as if they were people. It was by recognizing my children´s feelings about the dolls that I realized that if the dolls are in the museums or memorials of the holocaust, it means that they accompanied their owners after they were removed from their homes.
