Read the excerpt
from an interview with holocaust survivor and artist Chava Wolf . Choose a
level and answer the questions below.
Level 1: What
colors does Wolf paint with?
Level 2: What

she paint with these colors?
Level 3: What colors does Wolf paint with? Why does she paint with these colors? How
does painting this way make her feel better?
You paint with intense colors. What is the meaning of
color for you?
Chava Wolf: I am obsessed with colors. I have to go twice a week
into the city, near the open market, to see lots of colors. When I see a nice
fabric, I buy it. When I see a nice bag, I buy it because of the colors. I am
partial to colors, maybe because of the black that [life] was once. When I tell
my story I find myself back there. I am still the same young girl. If I can
paint with those colors, it is a sign that I am still optimistic. I write in
black on white and I paint with color and hide my pain.
