A series of ten portraits of Jewish people who would certainly have been assassinated, had they lived during the Second World War. Each canvas has the sentence Your people, my people written on it. This is what Ruth, a Gentile woman, said to her Jewish mother-in-law, Naomi, when the latter returned to Israel, impoverished, empty-handed and with a bitter heart.
Ruth said, "Don't entreat me to leave you, and to return from following after you, for where you go, I will go; and where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God; where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried."
