Shoshana Eden's Childhood Memories from Skała

 
Shoshana Eden painted her shtetl childhood memories . The shtetl is shown from a young girl's point of view, and therefore the paintings offer a unique look at a world destroyed by the Holocaust

 Shoshana Eden was born in Poland in 1917 to Malka and Mendl Feurstein. Her family was deported from their shtetl      along with the rest of the Jewish  community during the battles of the First World War. Shoshana Eden was born in  Borshchov, where her parents stayed as refugees.
 
 After the war the family returned home to Skała (a shtetl in Galicia, near Tarnopol: then in Poland, nowadays in the Ukraine).  On arrival they found that their  home and the family business
  were looted during their absence. That fate was shared by most of the returning refugees, and the community sunk into  deep poverty.
 
 Shoshana Eden's mother died when she was eight years old. Her main solace was studying. She attended both the  state Polish school and the  Hebrew school "Tarbut". There was no high school in Skala and her impoverished father  couldn't afford to send her away to
 school. To her great disappointment she had to make do with books from the lending library.
 
 Shoshana Eden was a Zionist and a socialist and when she turned eighteen, in 1935, she
 made Aliyah and arrived in Palestine. She loved children and worked with children in Ben Shemen youth village and later  in Jerusalem.
 
 Shoshana Eden married her fellow townsman from Skała, Zvi Bilgoray, in 1940. Their families in Poland received the  news about their marriage, and  sent their congratulations. Shortly afterwards the Germans occupied the Lvov area and  contact with home and family was severed, forever. Nearly all  her relatives were murdered in the Holocaust.
 
 Shoshana and Zvi lived in Haifa, Israel. He worked as an electrician while she raised their daughters. In 1971 their  younger daughter, Hannah'le, died  of cancer. The family convinced the grief stricken Shoshana to take painting lessons  and painting became a focal point in her life.
 
 Under the painter Gitit Harel's guidance  Shoshana Eden found her  medium - small scale naive paintings, and her subject - her childhood memories.
 
 The paintings show the shtetl from a young girl's point of view, and therefore concentrate on family life and the community's everyday life, as she  experienced them. All the persons
depicted were her childhood neighbours. She felt she was creating a memorial to them, as most of them were murdered in the Holocaust. The paintings also show Gentile figures, but they are few, and always minor charachters, which reflects the way the painter experienced their place in the Hassidic community's life. 
 
In the early 1980s she felt that her eyesight was failing. Aspiring for perfection as always, she stopped painting. An exhibition of her work was held in 1996 in the Mane Katz museum in Haifa.
Shoshana Eden died in 2002
