Fragments

Six fragments are chosen for this website in which Carola shares the process of "soul making".
She explores the process of moving THROUGH the family story, shifting out of survival patterns
and fear-based behavior and searches how to take responsibility for the impact of the
Holocaust experiences of one's parents and family members WITHIN oneself.

By cultivating compassion and choosing love-based behavior.
