Stitching Together Memories of War

Decades after Esther Nisenthal Krinitz lost her family in the Holocaust, she began stitching together childhood memories, using thread and fabric to detail life in their Polish village, and trauma of World War II. It was an avocation she took up while running a clothing store in downtown Frederick. Now dozens of her embroidered panels are coming to the American Visionary Art Museum, part of an exhibit about genocide and human injustice.Do you have a question or comment about a show or a story idea to pitch?
