A tiny sweet, 2024
playset Polly Pocket, homemade sweets
"He presses something into my hand. Beads. Colorful beads. Red, brown, green, yellow.
“Food,” the soldier says...He helps me lift my hand to my mouth. He helps me release the beads onto my dry tongue. Saliva gathers and I taste something sweet. I taste chocolate. I remember the name of this flavor. Always keep a little something sweet in your pocket, my father said.* Here is the sweetness."
from the book "The Choice" by Edith Eger, the moment of the liberation of the concentration camp.
*My grandfather told me so too.
