Portrait of a Holocaust Child

Portrait is an artistic book which uniquely tells the true story of Rita Kasimow Brown's experience of hiding in an underground pit from the Nazi death hunt. At once both horrifying and healing, Rita's personal account takes the reader on an inner journey with art and therapeutic creativity. Imagination and creativity have played a critical role throughout Rita's life, in her work as a psychologist, art therapist, and artist. Through dream interpretation and engaging in dialogue with dream figures based on Jung's method of active imagination, Rita demonstrates powerful techniques for coping with personal trauma. Also included in the book are full-colour reproductions of twelve of Rita's fine art paintings.
