In The Empty Bowl: Poems of the Holocaust and After, Holocaust survivor Judith H. Sherman strives to make art from trauma. Her poems, written largely in the words of a fifteen-year-old survivor, provide historical entry into the Holocaust. Put simply, the poems explore the reality of the events experienced by Sherman in her determination to survive--from first leaving home to illegal border crossings, hiding, capture, imprisonment by the Gestapo, the horrors of the Ravensbruck concentration camp, liberation, and, finally, a full life of joys and challenges that came after, including the unyielding intrusions of the past and hopeful celebration of a compassionate future.
Born in Kurima, Slovakia, Judith H. Sherman is a Holocaust survivor now living in New Jersey. She is the mother of three, the grandmother of five, and a widow. A retired social worker and psychotherapist, she is the author of the acclaimed memoir Say The Name: A Survivor's Tale in Prose and Poetry.
