This is the story of a particularly brave woman who risked her life to save others. My great-grandmother, Sara Libman Chutiner, was born in Lithuania in 1922 to Yeshayahu and Batya. When she turned 19, the Nazis invaded her town. They murdered many Jews, including her parents. She fled with her brother. With the help of the Righteous Among the Nations, she survived in hiding. In my work, I presented her first rescue operation, in which she smuggled Jews out of the Kaunas ghetto. After that operation, she continued to save Jews during the Holocaust and after. I chose to depict her figure in a large size, with her back to the viewer, facing the ghetto fences behind which the Jewish inhabitants of the ghetto stand in danger.
