Who Was the Woman Who Wore the Hat‪?‬

In this reflective poem drawn from a visit to the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam, Patz recalls an exhibit she saw and asks, "Who was the woman/who wore the hat/I saw in the Jewish Museum?/What was she like?" In prose-like poetry, this meditation combines a pensive prose poem with arresting collage artwork that sometimes suggests a distant memory and at other times brings the reality of the Holocaust into sharp focus. Subtle yet powerful, historical and personal, this book will make a lasting impact.
