Abstract
Abstract:Marc Chagall's world-renowned paintings and the little-known Yiddish poetry of the Lithuanian-South African David Fram reflect a similar zeitgeist and time in history, but their choice of visual as opposed to verbal language affected their interpretations. This article argues for the influence of their similar origins, background, culture, and Jewishness on their oeuvres. Living in exile, their works express their longing for home and their responses to its destruction and loss during the Holocaust. In doing so, they provide a form of remembrance for their lost communities of Eastern Europe.
