Mischling 1 by Sara Davidmann is an investigation into the fate of the artist's family during the Holocaust. The book connects past and present, silence and story, memory and identity through family photographs, propaganda, artworks, texts, artefacts and documentation. These materials are interwoven to reveal personal and collective stories of great loss and survival. The publication of the book coincided with the exhibition My Name is Sara at Four Corners Gallery, London. 'We are all the product of mixing, a reflection of our autonomy, one that creates a space in which the imagination works its magic, in light and darkness, a quest for identity that draws on memory and the past, taking us into our present, and on to a future.' The German word 'Mischling' was a Nazi legal classification used to denote people of partial Jewish ancestry; Davidmann uses it to interrogate the racial laws applied to her family, and to explore identity, inheritance and the persistence of memory across generations.
