who caused the epic Trojan War in the Iliad
Igor Mitoraj - the creator was of Polish origin but Italian by adoption
the artist manages to create his own very personal interpretation of Greek mythology
are the fragments of a classic imagery that Mitoraj turns to the spectator's enjoyment
which strongly imposes itself on time that flows inexorably
but also becomes a symbol of the resistance of classical beauty and the persistence of the ethical and aesthetic values ​​it represents

Once she was liberated at the age of 17 she was placed in a classroom of 12 year old students so that she could catch up
She followed her dream of studying clothing and costume design
She did not pursue her studies and married Kurt Sax
an Austrian refugee who she had met when she was 7 and he was 13 studying for his Bar Mitzvah
She was given this most distinguished honorary  degree from Southwestern College in the South Bay of San Diego County for her contributions in human relations and education
the California media broadcasted her story prominently on Friday
a retired dentist and Holocaust survivor from Los Angeles
She had 300 people at the Chula Vista Chabad event
Eisenbach and hopes that as he recovers she will have the opportunity to hear his amazing story of survival
In addition to speaking to over 10,000 people in May
with Sax having been named one of 18 Mothers of the Year by the office of State Senator Ben Hueso
 To add to the accolades she is one of six featured San Diego women who was chosen as  Women of Valor
with her story to be presented at the San Diego Jewish Arts Festival June 7 at the Lyceum and June 10 at the Encinitas library
Different actors will tell the stories of these fine women
 Past Women of Valor include Holocaust survivors Rose Schindler
I have documented my mother Ruth Sax’s Holocaust experiences and current life in the book Try To Remember- Never Forget
 Most mornings Ruth and I go to the different classrooms from elementary through college letting students know about the Holocaust and what happened to her
 There are so few survivors who continue to speak in San Diego County and they must all be supported
Each survivor has such unique experiences and we can truly learn from them today so
There were not many survivors in Chula Vista and now there are only two
The South Bay is unique because of many children from Mexico attending the schools
Sax was part of the DIF  (DIF ESTATAL ) in Baja California,speaking about the Holocaust and raising awareness for handicapped people needing equipment and support
 Ruth is in a wheelchair but nothing stops her
my book received the Multicultural Motion Pictures Association Award  author/documentary in Beverly Hills
she wasn’t going to miss this for anything
The greatest thing to watch was my mom in her cap and gown receiving her honorary degree
 Happy tears were everywhere and I believe that with so many applauding her
public officials  and people filling the stands
it has given her more drive to continue in education
It is my dream to make a documentary of all remaining survivors in San Diego so they will never be forgotten
