"This impressive book with its inspiring pictures and bilingual texts on Alice Salomon, has the potential of bringing her to life in a world which has changed so much since her time. Yet, this world still appears to need her input and imagination which is so thoughtfully represented here" Prof. Dr. Gisela Bock "The way you work is unique. Your beautiful book is fascinating both in content and design. You have such a gift for portraying or conveying the character, the spirit, the fascination of the specific subject. I have long been fascinated by the character and the self-related decisions that Alice Salomon made and by her tragic fate as a Jew - despite her choice of religion." Prof. Alice Shalvi "It is a gorgeous book, and so thoughtfully and imaginatively put together. Deborah Sharon Abeles' pictures are an informative tribute and Adriane Feustel takes us deep into the life and sensibility of Alice Salomon." Prof. Natalie Zemon Davis "Dessa schenkt uns [mit diesem Buch] einen neuen, anderen Blick auf diese Pionierin der Sozialreform und Frauenbewegung. Adriane Feustels kenntnisreicher Essay 'Die Kunst zu leben' bereichert die Bilder um kluge Gedanken und Petra Langes Beitrag gibt einen Einblick in Dessas Schaffen als Künstlerin. All das macht den Band zu einer gelungenen Mischung der 'Kunst des Gedenkens'." Ariadne.
