USA, 2011, 29 min. Years after losing her family in the Holocaust, a seamstress-turned-artist shares her story of survival through needlework. Esther Nisenthal Krinitz was 15 years of age when the Nazis ordered the Jews of her tiny Polish village of Mniszek to report to the trains for deportation. With her younger sister in tow, Esther refused to go, surviving the war by posing as a Catholic farm girl. Haunted by her heartbreaking wartime memories, Esther turns to needle and thread, stitching her extraordinary story of survival into 36 exquisitely detailed embroidery panels. Through Esther’s own words, images of her vibrant artwork, and interviews with her daughters and others, this film showcases an artistic legacy borne of love, loss and the sheer force of memory. Visit the Eye of the Needle exhibition in the Mandel JCC Art Gallery in Palm Beach Gardens Jan 7-27. Film Producer and daughter of Esther Nisenthal Krinitz, Bernice Steinhardt will attend the screening. Film Sponsored by Helane Hertz and Anonymous.
