STORY 2:
THE HEAVENS WEPT
BY ELLE JACOBSON
Inspiration
My digital story is a poem inspired by Ruth’s painting The Heavens Wept. The poem explores themes of remembrance and why the sky continues to mourn for the suffering and abuse Jewish families faced, for the lives lost in the Holocaust and for all those whose stories were never told. The poem is split across nine tiles on Instagram and can be clicked on in any order creating a different poem for each reader.
