Aviva Halter-Hurn had just finished her Honours Degree at Camberwell College of Arts and Crafts when her father, Roman Halter, put on an exhibition of his work called 'Remembering for the Future' in 1988. This inspired her to produce a set of prints 'Auschwitz through Lino-cuts'.

'As a daughter of a Survivor I had grown up hearing about all the atrocities of the Holocaust. I tended to push it all to the back of my mind not really wanting to believe how horrible one man could be to another. I found it hard to comprehend how my father had managed to survive. A whole chapter of his life, that was so alien to me and played such an immense part of the man he is.

Through these prints which I took directly from the pictures drawn in the camps on scraps of paper, wood, or what ever else that they could find to draw on. I could glimpse into the horrors of what my father had been through and for the first time mourn my fathers family who I never knew.'
