The Polish sculptor creating masterpieces inspired by places where terrified Jews hid during Holocaust

When we speak of people hiding from the Nazis during the Second World War, we think immediately of Anne Frank, concealed for two years with her family in an Amsterdam attic. But there were, of course, many, many other Jews who went into hiding.

Polish-Jewish artist, architect and historian Natalia Romik is excavating these hideouts in eastern Europe, many of them in the most unlikely of places, including a cemetery, a cellar and even a tree.

She takes castings of the hideouts and creates sculptures from them in her work to map and archive what she calls Jewish survival architecture. So far she has uncovered 12 such hiding places.
