Original Wraps. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Original Wraps. "I Saw It presents the poem of that same title written by the famous Jewish-Russian poet Ilya Selvinsky (1899-1968), translated into English by the award-winning bilingual author, Boston College professor, Maxim D. Shrayer. Selvinsky was the first Jewish-Russian poet to depict the Holocaust (Shoah) in the occupied Soviet territories. In January 1942, while serving as a military journalist, Selvinsky witnessed the immediate aftermath of the massacre of thousands of Jews outside the Crimean city of Kerch, and thereafter composed and published this poem about it. Partnering with noted typographer and fine-press printer Philip Gallo, Bart designed the book, clamshell box, and created the artwork. This project was of special interest to Bart, as her maternal grandmother was from Ukraine. In the book, she has written a remembrance of her grandmother."

I'm grateful to her for her vision and her commitment to keeping alive the memory of the Shoah."[Maxim D.
