Dorrit Title, a graduate of the Cooper Union Art School, received a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. She fled her native Vienna at the age of 2, in 1939, with her parents, to New York, where she grew up. Her grandparents died in the Holocaust. She bases part of her art on the more than 100 letters and postcards her grandparents sent from Vienna from 1939 to 1942 to her family in New York, trying to obtain visas to emigrate. The onset of war prevented their rescue. Her work on the Holocaust has been exhibited in solo exhibits at The Rockland Center for Holocaust Studies, The Holocaust Memorial Center of Nassau County, The Holocaust Resource Center of Temple Judea, Manhasset, as well as many other locations including Queensborough Community College Holocaust Center, where her work is in the permanent collection.

The violence of the Holocaust has significance for all of us, Jew and non-Jew alike, because innocent men, women and children were hunted down and destroyed not just by an evil system but by people who were willing to implement horrors that fall outside the realm of human imagination. It is for us, the artists, to depict this agonizing story, to honor and keep alive the memory of the millions who were killed, so that those who are no longer able to be heard will not be forgotten.
