The Podcast “Invisible Wound” is part of the project “Hakara – facing the transgenerational trauma”. In one episode, we meet Sydney-based artist and filmmaker Ella Dreyfus. She is a second generation Holocaust survivor. Her father and uncle were sent to Australia on a ship as children, which is how they survived the Holocaust. Her father’s family was from Germany. How did her familial history impact her and what are the consequences of collective transgenerational trauma, according to Ella? What role do they play in her artwork? And what is it like being a Jewish artist in Australia? Many of the answers can be found in this episode, while others are explored in her documentary film: Dreyfus Drei. www.dreyfus3.com The Podcast “Invisible Wound” of Sharon Ryba-Kahn is part of the project “Hakara – facing the transgenerational trauma” by AMCHA Germany.
