My work, Voices of Conscience, is a mixed media collage representation of the strength, courage, and conviction of people who are willing to risk everything to make others aware of the inhumanity and injustices committed by the Nazi regime.  A central element in my work is the images because they illustrate the atrocities that were committed against the innocent people, and the need for courageous individuals or groups, like Hans and Sophie Scholl and the White Rose Society, to speak up and let the world know of the evil crimes committed.
