The Exiled Memory Project deals with three intersecting timelines: my grandparents’ murder in the death camps of eastern Europe, my father’s narrow escape from Vienna following his arrest by the Gestapo, and my emerging transnational identity as an Austrian citizen working with Holocaust memory. I have developed a series of eighteen memory panels which represent a post-witness account, including my narrative of retrieval. Mixing image with text, and voice with memory, I construct a revised timeline that begins in 1938 and concludes in 2008.
