Pinchas Gutter

Pinchas lives in the museum
Where I volunteer.
His hologram is what I mean
That helps him to appear.

A Holocaust survivor
Born in 1932,
His family shared the fate expected
By each Polish Jew.

But Pinchas lived and always will;
Technology ensures it
And interactive software
By a research team secures it.

Nine hundred questions he was asked,
With cameras recording,
Resulting in a project
Both amazing and rewarding.

For visitors can thus “converse”
And Pinchas tells his story,
Reality more powerful
Than myth or allegory.

Pinchas is a teaching tool
But feels more like a friend
And by his presence we can learn
That hope may yet transcend.
