Last month we were in Poland traveling with Classrooms Without Borders to learn about Jewish life before, during, and after the Holocaust.  While on the trip, we met visual artist Maciej Frankiewicz.  Maciej paints about the Jews from his town, Starachowice in Kielce county (once a shtetl called Wierzbnik), who were relocated by the Nazis to the Warsaw Ghetto.  Many of those Jews perished at Treblinka. Read more about Maciej and see his powerful paintings here.
