Pillow/talk

In my mind when I saw this pillow it reminded me of the Holocaust. The stripped pattern on the pillow is the same countless prisoners had to wear. This pillow was given to a family to share between the four of them. Every night in the bunker someone would try to take it from them, but their dad, weak but fierce, would fight them away. I think this pillow has seen many tears, nightmares, but also dreams that one day the family that possessed it would be free.

Worn by prisoners

Sleeping when they can
