#66 Surviving The Holocaust: The True Story Of Trude Sojka, An Artist Who Found Refuge In Ecuador

In today’s episode we sit down with the mother and daughter duo who created the Trude Sojka museum in Quito, Ecuador. Trude Sojka was a Holocaust survivor and artist who painted until she was almost 100 years old. The house museum celebrates the life of Tude Sojka while educating and inspiring visitors from all over the world. Gabby says “We are nature” and shares with us how that sentiment, plus the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador, influenced her grandmother's art (as well as her own). She also lays out a timeline of Trude’s life, include the periods before and after the Holocaust. Through the preservation of hundreds of paintings, Anita explains how you can step back in time and see how Trude used her art to process her difficult experiences as well as her joyous ones.
