About Two Regimes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two Regimes is the life\u2019s work of two Ukrainian women: a mother, Teodora Verbitskaya (author) and her daughter, Nadia Werbitzky (professional artist).\u00a0\u00a0Teodora wrote about her family\u2019s life from 1927 to 1945 while living in Mariupol, Soviet Ukraine, under the two regimes of Stalin and Hitler.\u00a0\u00a0Mother and daughter were survivors and witnesses of two genocides: that of the\u00a0Holodomor\u00a0(man-made Famine 1932-33 under Stalin) and the\u00a0Holocaust\u00a0(1933-1945 under Hitler).<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo Regimes\u201d weaves a tale of suffering and surviva<\/strong>l from 1927-1945\u00a0<\/strong>during Stalin\u2019s collectivization and requisition of agriculture that resulted in millions of Soviet citizens, mostly Ukrainians, dying from hunge<\/strong>r\u00a0<\/strong>in a time of good harvests\u00a0<\/strong>(known as the\u00a0<\/strong>Holodomor<\/strong>)<\/strong>. Teodora and Nadia witnessed the ferocious Nazi invasion of the USSR and the\u00a0<\/strong>Holocaust\u00a0<\/strong>of the Jews in Mariupol, then found themselves taken back to Germany as Eastern slave labor for the Third Reich. Four long years later they were liberated by the American soldiers.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nadia\u2019s paintings are memory paintings: no one posed for her. Teodora\u2019s journals were inspired by her desire to document life and the lives of those who lived and perished. Created decades apart, the written word and the artist\u2019s brush correlate, as both sets of works are shared memories.<\/p>\n

The Two Regimes Collection contains 118 paintings, 150 sketches and a manuscript \u2013 now a book published posthumously titled \u201cTwo Regimes . . . A Mother\u2019s Memoir of Wartime Survival<\/em>\u201d by Teodora Verbitskaya.<\/p>\n

Quotes about Two Regimes:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Please credit the authors of these quotes in your grants<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHitler and Stalin were the history-makers, Teodora and Nadia are the carriers of memory. History is about knowing what happened in the past; memory is about knowing how what happened in the past makes you who you are today.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>–\u00a0Michael Camarda<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo Regimes\u00a0is a powerful but ever so painful memoir of a woman who lived through Stalin’s famine in the Ukraine and witnessed Hitler’s Final Solution to the Jewish Problem. Twice cursed by history, we are twice blessed with Teodora Verbitskaya’s commitment to memory and the talent of her daughter Nadia’s haunting sketches.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Michael Berenbaum, Director, Sigi Ziering Institute: Exploring the Ethical and Religious Implications of the Holocaust, Professor of Jewish Studies, American Jewish University, Los Angeles, California<\/p>\n

Two Regimes is a story of the will and survival of everyday people faced with the realities of imposed starvation, internment, devastation, and War.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The embodiment of the story of Two Regimes is synonymous with the history that profoundly affects the lives of Teodora Verbitskaya the author and her family.<\/p>\n

Although the history of the two regimes of Stalin and Hitler is complex, the details of the memoir of Verbitskaya\u2019s Two Regimes and the imagery of the paintings of her daughter Nadia Werbitzky, who experienced life with her at this time, provides us with an insight into this time period like none else.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the vision and the perseverance of documentary film director Douglas Darlington, of Winding Road Films, a remarkable, informative and one of a kind melding of the history of this era and the story of the witness and survival of Teodora’s family under the tyranny of Stalin and Hitler has come together in a 33 minute long didactic film that educators can appreciate and utilize in their classrooms and students can comprehend.<\/p>\n

\u201cI deeply appreciated the exhibition which enlightened my class. We had a big class discussion on the Holocaust and it\u00a0\u00a0brought so much light to the kids who are lost on the situation thank you for the great experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Student Comment 1<\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cThe art in this exhibit gives one a different perspective on war and the Holocaust, one that is more intimate and relates to someone on a deeper level than that of history textbooks. Each piece expresses the sorrow and devastation experienced by the victims of such tragedy.\u00a0\u00a0The viewers of these paintings can feel their loss in a way that can’t be felt through words. Especially the paintings of women with their painfully sad eyes, evoke this grief.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0Student Comment 2<\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, thank you for bringing this art to our campus. This art truly made me look at life from a different view. Furthermore, I liked all of the paintings due to their diversity. Not to mention, I encourage you in taking all of these paintings around the nation. Many people will see these paintings in their own eyes and situations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0Student Comment 3<\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cThis exhibit really made me think about what people involved in the Holocaust had to endure. It was really sad to me to see that people were even taken away from their animals. An event this horrific must have been unbearable to live through.\u00a0\u00a0Having to watch thousands of Jews being murdered some of which being one’s family and friends must have been traumatizing and I can’t imagine living through that.<\/p>\n

One painting that really triggered emotion in me was \u201cCity of Kitezh.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0It showed the horror and sadness of the city people in all that was going on. There was limited food and the city\u2019s people were dying off from starvation others were held at gunpoint by police and then shoved into cars and trucks to be taken away from their homes. Imagining that happening to my city is unfathomable and it makes me feel grateful and blessed that such atrocities hasn’t occurred to my city and loved ones<\/p>\n

Two Regimes \u2013 Witness to War is an exhibition of soulful paintings accompanied with powerful passages written by the artist\u2019s mother and author of \u201cTwo Regimes…. A Mothers Memoir of Wartime Survival\u201d\u00a0<\/em>by Teodora Verbitskaya.<\/em>\u00a0Teodora was a simple Ukrainian woman, who with her two daughters Lucy and Nadia, survived the horrors of the two regimes of Stalin and Hitler, and witnessed firsthand the Holodomor (Death by starvation) and the Holocaust in Mariupol, Ukraine. After the war, daughter Nadia trained and became a literate artist who painted the precious memories of her country and its people before, during and after WWII. Both mother and daughter created their written word memoir and artist brush memories, decades apart.
