This special Twinchie is a history lesson indeed. For our swap, we have to make a Twinchie for each person in our group based on what they choose for their theme. More details on the swap here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I found the photos for this piece at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum web-site. Please visit for more information.
Although the theme is not pleasant, I believe that it is our duty to educate the younger generation so that this horrible tragedy never happens again. It is important that we never forget. My research made me very sad, but I am now a better person for learning more than I knew before. I want to thank my group partner for giving me this challenge.
I hope I have managed to give the subject the dignity and respect that it deserves.
I chose the Waterfall Technique in order to fit as many photos as possible on this tiny space. There is a great tutorial found here in the resources section if you want to give it a try. I did my own adjustments to alter the mechanism to a much smaller scale. If you are not familiar with how this card works, it is very unique. As you pull the cord on the bottom, the photos flip one by one and behind to display the next. Not sure I explained that right. There are 4 photos to show the entire process. Be sure to check out the other photos as well.
I want to thank you for stopping in today.
Your comments are always appreciated.
Please keep in mind that I'm only the messenger.
Respectfully,
Deb

Deb, I think more than any other of the photos, this brings home the scale of the atrocities. Each ring is a life, a marriage, a family ... so much potential and so many futures, gone.
You have treated the subject respectfully, yet still faced the truth without trying to make it pretty. Thank you for that courage and honesty.
